Blues jam on the Porch, Saturday at Floydfest 2010. Can't remember the guy's name playing the instrument to her right--but it is the distant relative of the banjo. Danny Nicely sitting in on Mandolin.
Sharing an ancestor with our banjo, this instrument is called 'n'goni in Mali, and xalam in Senegal. Traditionally played solo by musical historians in the Griot caste, it is now featured in Malian ensembles.
Awesome improv. Caught this act. What a voice on Alexis.
