About the Banjo by Tony Thomas

From Black Banjo Gathering this article "About the Banjo," written by Tony Thomas discusses the banjo and American folk music. Tony Tomas writes: The banjo is a product of Africa. Africans transported to the Caribbean and Latin America were reported playing banjos in the 17th and 18th centuries, before any banjo was reported in the Americas. Africans in the US were the predominant players of this instrument until the 1840s. Originally the banjos were made out of gourds and skins. The strings numbered between three and nine, with four- and five-string banjos being popular. A distinguishing feature was one or more short drone strings sounded with the thumb.

Banjo playing became an object of popular white culture in the US and later in Britain as a result of the Blackface Minstrel shows that became a popular form of entertainment in the 1830s and 1840s. Minstrels from the South who had actually learned real African-American music like Joel Sweeney popularized the banjo by introducing the clawhammer or frailing style that Blacks had brought from Africa. Commercial banjo makers later claimed that Sweeney invented the banjo in order to cover up its African origin. Sweeney did work with luthiers and drum makers to help perfect drum head banjos, the most common type, and is thought to have popularized the five-string banjo as opposed to the four-string banjo. Banjo playing became widely popular among working class and poor people both urban and rural. While African Americans continued their tradition with the instrument, whites also became fans, makers and manufacturers of the banjo.
Banjos began to be built by fine instrument makers, factory scaled manufacturers, as well as working people and farmers who worked with home-made materials. Gradually, the sturdier drum head style of banjo began to replace the gourd banjos.

Banjo playing expanded in the late 19th Century when classic banjo playing finger-picking styles made the banjo a popular instrument among the upper classes and social elites of the US and Britain. While efforts were made to distance the banjo from its African origins and its continued popularity as the instrument of the poor and the Black, nevertheless the outstanding player of period was Horace Weston, an African-American who excelled at the classic, minstrel, and traditional African-American banjo styles.

In the last 30 years of the 19th Century, manufacturers added frets to banjos to make them easier to play for beginners; these became a standard part for most manufactured banjos while people continued to make their own fretless and gourd banjos. In the same years banjo-based instruments aimed at taking the place of various orchestra instruments such as the banjo cello, banjo-bass, mandolin banjo, and banjo mandolin flourished as banjo orchestras became popular particularly among college students.
The twentieth century saw the emergence of steel strings on the banjos. This meant banjos could be played with a plectrum or pick. This led to the plectrum banjo and the more popular tenor banjo, which were both four-string banjos with the fifth drone string removed. These instruments proved popular for pop, dance, tango, and Jazz bands until they started to be replaced by the guitar in the late 1920s and 1930s.

While five-string banjo playing retained a support among African-Americans and whites in the Piedmont and Appalachian South, five string banjo playing declined until the explosion of Bluegrass in the post war years, powered by Earl Scruggs’ dynamic style of finger picking, Bluegrass led to the repopularization of the banjo among Southern whites. The “Folk Revival” that began in the late 1950s popularized the banjo among college youth. A crucial part of that folk revival was the struggle by some young folk players to learn and reproduce traditional Southern white and Black banjo styles played before Bluegrass. This led to a revival among some players of old-time clawhammer and finger picking styles.

The once ignored music of traditional African-American five-string banjoists from Piedmont areas of Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia began to be heard again in the collection and performance of banjoists like Dink Roberts, John Snipes, and Odell Thompson. The publication of Dr. Cece Conway’s African Banjo Echoes in Appalachia: A Study of Folk Traditions linked these players to the African origins of the banjo as well as to the African origins of clawhammer and other traditional banjo styles among white old-time players. The issue by Dr. Conway and Scott Odell of Black Banjo Songsters of North Carolina & Virginia, a CD of these Black banjoists’ music, brought the original Black voice of the five-string banjo back to the banjo world. These events helped encourage a layer of African-Americans to take up the banjo and continue and expand the traditions of their elders.

Today Black banjoists are exploring the original Black traditions of clawhammer and finger style five-string banjo, as well as reviving the traditions of Horace Weston in classic banjo, and continuing the great music of the great Black tenor, plectrum, and six-string banjoists of the 20th Century.

  3. there are many plucked stringed instruments from ancient africa that incorporate the basic components of the banjo and guitar and have beautiful rich tones . basically a skinned drum amplifying and resonating the notes with a wooden neck and tuning pegs attached giving the instrument a percussive melodic sound. it doesn't take much imagination to see that these instrument builders from ancient africa could of carried there instrument making skills to america during the course of slavery and come up with the banjo. I will research the names of these earlier ancient african instruments and see if any one can see the possibility of a natural evolutionary process. i think the author of this piece has done a good job on bringing to attention black peoples connections to the history of the banjo but he should include a back ground of the earlier african instruments that could of inspired the making of the first banjos . all in all well done .

  105. The best part of the article were the paintings, the article itself wasn't very accurate from what I have learned. How does one write a story about the banjo and just barely mention Joel Sweeny? Was the author aware that Sweeny went to Briton and Europe playing minstrel music there, in the late 30's? How does he managed to leave out the Irish influence, an ethic group in the U.S. who were thought of as nothing more than "niggers turned inside out" but had a major influence on minstrel banjo music. The gourd banjo was in fact more of a percussion, and not a melody instrument, that was invented in the U.S. I saw no mention of any of the banjo instruction books such as Elias Howe's Complete Preceptor for the banjo of 1848, or that of the Briggs' banjo instructor in 1855. Why no mention that the "roots of the minstrel show were nurtured in the sawdust ring of the circus.?" nor did I see any mention of Thomas Rice, who by most accounts was the first to perform "Negro songs" But most important is how the article really missed how the banjo in the words of Joe Ayers, "was a progression, not a theft. Sweeney was actually a major sign of a natural integration of culture taking place between Americans of European and African descent....For them the banjo and the "power of music" itself were tools of both survival and overcoming in a hostile world. Far from a theft or even an appropriation, Sweeney can be seen as their creation, as much as his own, a gentler, cleverer version of the old Trojan Horse ruse, in this case used to breech the fortress walls of elite privilege.

    2. By all accounts the minstrel show performed by white musicians with blackened faces singing songs like "Knock A N----- Down" (J. Sweeney) should well have remained in the ‘sawdust ring of the circus’. And with all your additional research, how could you have left out Thomas Rice’s impersonation of a negro slave - his very own “Jim Crow" persona - a racial caricature contrived to flatter contemporary belief in white superiority? Dressed in rags, battered hat and torn shoes, Rice blackened his face and hands and impersonated a very nimble and irreverently witty black field hand who sang, “Turn about and wheel about, and do just so. And every time I turn about I Jump Jim Crow.”
      Wow, legendary box office breaking material! Rice married Charlotte Gladstone in 1837. She died in 1847. None of their children survived infancy. As early as 1840, Rice suffered from a type of paralysis, which began to limit his speech and movements, and eventually led to his death in 1860.
      God gifted Africans and African Americans with awesome musical talents, which have contributed to making our world a better, more beautiful place. The banjo is a universal beloved favorite!
