Banjo music
Banjo Music is a genre of music that consists exclusively, or primarily of, the banjo. Banjo music can be played as a solo, or it can be played with a band. Banjo music can be played with all types of banjos (four, five, or six string).
==History==
Banjo music originated informally as a form of African folk music over a hundred years ago probably in the sub-Saharan region. When the Americans forced African slaves to work on the plantations, banjo music followed them, and stayed primarily a form of African folk music, up to the 1800s. In that time period, white americans did observe the instrument of its music but seemed to take no large interest until the occurrence of grotesque representations of black culture by white performers in minstrel shows. It was during this time that the banjo in all probability was first introduced to Ireland, when the Virginia Minstrels toured in England, Ireland and France in 1843, 1844 and 1845. With his minstrel shows, Joel Walker Sweeney is credited with extending the popularity of the banjo as well as its music to an enormous audience all over the United States and Europe.〔http://www.standingstones.com/banjo.html.

With the spread of popularity of the banjo, it influenced different kinds of music - it gave rise to mountain string bands, and even helped give a foundation for Blues music. The occurrences of hootenannies gave a house to banjo music, where it made its place in American folk music and Bluegrass.〔http://www.slideshare.net/arscurry/banjo-in-american-folk-music.
