Master Jola akonting player, Jesus Jarju, plays a banjo for the first time. The banjo is tuned to a traditional akonting tuning: gBA, where 'g' is the 5th string, 'B' is the 3rd string and 'A' is the 1st string.

  • is his name really jesus?

  • Well, sort of. His named used to be Esa Jarju. He changed it himself-- merely by making the announcement that he was now named Jesus. He is quite insistent about being called "Jesus." I don't know why he changed it-- Esa isn't too far off, and it's a nice name.

    Paul

  • Wow amazing to see someone who, I assume, is an accomplished akonting player pick up a banjo for the first time. And naturally, he sings.
