XALAM.

One form of original African Banjo.

The Banjo and it's style of playing has come to be a part of Country music/Bluegrass of he United States. This style of music that most have labeled as White Music under the impression of it being of Southern white origins, is actually derived from the Senegambia region of west Africa, carried over to the U.S. by Senegambian slaves.

This is just one example of how African Americans managed to carry over their culture from Africa and influence the culture of the U.S and the world—despite slavery.
