Directed by Marc Fields. Narrated by Steve Martin, The Banjo Project: The Story of Americas Instrument is a cross-media cultural odyssey: a major television documentary, a live stage/multi-media performance with Tony Trischka, and a website that chronicle the journey of Americas quintessential instrument-the banjo-from its African roots to the 21st century. The Banjo Project television documentary brings together contemporary players in all styles-Earl Scruggs, Pete Seeger, Bela Fleck, Taj Mahal, Ralph Stanley, Abigail Washburn, Mike Seeger, Don Vappie and Cynthia Sayer, among many others-with folklorists, historians, instrument makers and passionate amateurs to tell the story of Americas instrument in all its richness and diversity.

I had a fraternity brother at Texas A&M in the early ‘80’s who played the banjo. That’s back when fraternities were outlawed/unrecognized at A&M. After a party, he would get it out and tear it up - Foggy Mountain, Sleepy Man,... You would think that a bunch of college kids would be too cool to like the banjo. Hell no, we loved it!

And on the eighth day God created the banjo. And he saw that it was good...

Imagine! Betty Mabry Davis' music, on the banjo! Funk Banjo! That's where I'm coming from. That slow funk music.

The description says that the documentary is narrated by Steve Martin. Maybe he narrates the full-length film, but this trailer is narrated by Paul Brown.

See now. I had no idea that the banjo was "tied" to slavery...well thats one more thing that history has tainted for me.

Honk off, BOZO!

@sealie15 12 лет назад

No it's a West African instrument. Stolen. Monopolized.

@porkyfedwell 4 года назад

There were skin head instruments in Africa, but the banjo was developed over many years in the Americas. It wasn't "stolen" any more than we "stole" numerals from the Arabs, "stole" English from England, etc. Ideas get borrowed and improved upon by others, that's how the world progresses.
