The African Roots of the Blues Part 2

I recorded this in the Upper Region of Ghana. This musical instrument reminds me of the Banjo and the musician's music, the Blues.

africanbushdoctor - Thank you so much for your many wonderful videos.

To us musicians especially, these small vignettes of time and sound from Africa are a beautiful reminder that sometimes the simplest melodies are all we need to hear to remind us how brilliant music can be.

Africa - The Continent of the 21st Century!

Africa is an ocean of just musical instruments...the music is yet another one! It would take more than one lifetime to explor them both!-From an Indian musician.

I agree with you...only a fool who knows nothing of history would say Elvis created the blues.
