THANK YOU] FOR THIS INPORTANT INFORMATION

Its always amazing what the soul can endure as long as there is music to give it a voice. From the cotton fields to the coal wars to the railroad barons to the battle fields. Hell itself may be endured as long as there is music.

Wow 🥺✊🏽

[@aarongrefer2918]

I'm interested in learning more about what kinds of music was originally played on a banjo. Was hoping this was it but still neat stuff

[@Judathehero]

Do you actually belive the myth that Africans invited the banjo?

[@TheCasheba]

Chattel Slavery was the worst!! The Pyramids were not built by Hebrew slaves, but by paid workers. Everything in the Bible is not factual, please study Egyptian(Kemetic) History.

William Smith Monroe (/mənˈroʊ/; September 13, 1911 - September 9, 1996) was an American mandolinist, singer, and songwriter, who created the bluegrass music genre. Because of this, he is often called the "Father of Bluegrass". The origin of bluegrass music can be traced to the people who migrated to America in the 1600s from Ireland, Scotland, and England and brought with them basic styles of music that are generally considered to be the roots of modern bluegrass music.The hill country was settled by a wave of immigrants from these countries called the, " Scotch Irish." They brought their instruments and music with them which became the roots of American bluegrass music.

Part of the story . Banjo AFRICAN instrument

[@Judathehero]

@@christiancampbell4940 absolutely not. Thats revisionist history. Africans didn't invent the banjo...now its even claimed Africans invented the jig and clogging lol.
