What is the relationship between the banjo and slavery, and how did music making by slaves influence the abolition debate during the 18th and early 19th century? The story of the banjo is in many ways the story of America. For two centuries, the plucking of banjo strings accompanied the evolution of American popular music, from Minstrelsy to Blues to Dixieland Jazz. Then, just as the banjo’s popularity waned before the electrified sounds of Rhythm and Blues and Rock and Roll, there was a revival. In the hands of Bluegrass virtuoso Earl Scruggs and Folk songster Pete Seeger, the banjo was reasserted as the instrument of the common man. Today, the banjo remains essential to the sound of groups from Mumford and Sons to the Band Perry, who, like musicians of the past, pay homage to the banjo’s history while also making the instrument their own.
