#2963: Global Banjo
The trio of Foday Musa Suso, Joel Harrison, Tony Trischka, now known as the FoJoTo String Band, is a collaborative unit of cross-cultural kora, guitar & banjo. We'll hear some music that they played live on Soundcheck. There's also banjo in a skronky math-metal mood from Seabrook Power Plant, along with music involving the banjo's West African antecedents. Plus, shamisen music by the Yoshida Brothers, and more.
