The instrument has been adopted by many cultures and has been ingrained into many musical traditions from Mento music in the Caribbean and dance music in Ireland. Virtuosos such as B©la Fleck have played Bach African music and Christmas tunes on the five-string banjo and the instrument has had a resurgence in pop music with such acts a Mumford and Sons and the Avett Brothers.ÞThis book offers the first comprehensive illustrated history of the banjo in its many forms.
