This African instrument originated in North America, Africans kept as slaves built a plucked instrument reminiscent of those in their homelands, They took a round drum (with a skin on one side only), attached a long neck and added strings: job done. The banjo evolved over the years, and now it's quite similar to the guitar. Before the electric guitar was invented, the banjo played an important role in early jazz bands. Nowadays, it's mostly used in American bluegrass, a type of country music.
