Banjo 🪕
Copy & Meaning

A banjo — the round-bodied, bright-sounding instrument that connects American folk music to its African roots and has been central to bluegrass, country, and Appalachian musical traditions. The banjo's African origins — brought to America through the slave trade — transformed through interaction with European folk music into a distinctly American sound. Bluegrass banjo playing requires extraordinary technique and creates some of American music's most exhilarating moments.

'Dueling Banjos' from Deliverance is one of cinema's most recognizable musical exchanges. Used for American folk and country music content, bluegrass discussions, Appalachian culture, the acoustic music revival, and celebrating the complex, beautiful history of American vernacular music.
