The Friendly Banjo gratefully pays homage to its rich cultural history by acknowledging the profound African-American roots of this important instrument. In essence, owning a Friendly Banjo is inseparable from recognizing and celebrating the deep influence of African-American traditions on the creation and evolution of the banjo. As a supporter of Friendly Banjos we ask you to educate yourself and teach your little ones about the African roots of the banjo, fostering a deeper understanding and helping to correct misconceptions about this instrument.
