tap dancing did not come frome ireland it came froim africa caried to europe when the moores controled the europeans and mixed in with irish people thats why you have black irish and white irish
To my knowledge as an African Banjoist. The Hamitic, and Cushite has no association with the banjo origins. They might adopted as the Nothern America claiming that Banjo is an American instrument which is not true.
African Banjo is part of the BANTU ethnic group, and thus how ended up in Northern America in time of slavery.
Let us share to correct. and share about the African banjo history in deepth.
@Africanbanjo The Hamitic/Cushite association that WESTERN EUROPEANS assigned as only applying to horn africans is their own flawed classification. All of us africans traditionally trace back to the people of Kham/Khami (Ham) and Kusu (Kush) as well as Misiri (Mizraim) and the rest of their descendants. So yes all Africans descend from those ones, those are our ancestors as passed down in tradition from the land of Cush and Misiri.
@Africanbanjo Mr. Pwelle I beg to differ. The Mande language may be categorized in the Niger/Congo group of languages but they are NOT Bantu. The Banjo while may be influenced by the African diaspora is an American instrument. This is not to say it is European but like American music it's influences could come from Africa as well as Ireland. An example would be tap-dance- while American it's influences came from Africa, Ireland & mainland Europe clog-dancing.
this sounds sweet
