African bands have been employing guitars since the 60's. Here2QuestionYou is an asshole.

[VraiDiouf]

Even before then.

[vadimfv]

they use guitars because they can get a bright, loud electric sound with them. guitars are used in all kinds of US and British drone-style rock/postrock, and in African dance music from Afrobeat to soukous to mbaqanga, etc - why shouldn't the Tuareg (Tamashek) use them? enjoy it, this is tops!

[CrazyShakaZulu]

Welll, the guitar was NOT invented in Africa. Though the ancestor of the modern day banjo was. However, many African string instruments have a resemblance to the guitar. I believe the guitar is a result of the Arabic Oud

[Here2QuestionYou]

Why use guitars, this is supposed to be African music not forced, Westernized assimilated crap with an "African flavor".

[Shermisfox]

You should be aware that the guitar was invented in Africa.

[Here2QuestionYou]

No it wasn't.

[Shermisfox]

It bloody well was. Do you know your history. Don't dis play such ingnorance.

[Here2QuestionYou]

I know my history and no it wasn't, do you even know what a guitar IS?

[Shermisfox]

Yes I do. It's that long-handled intstrument with strings that, I'm certain, will fit very well up your arse.

[Here2QuestionYou]

I don't see why you're interested in fitting things up my ass so much, you obvious faggot.

However, the guitar was not invented in Africa.
