so, i noticed that in âsinners,â remmick is portrayed as playing a banjo when he performs. that piqued my interest because i know somebody, hannah mayree, who runs something called the âBlack banjo reclamation projectâ which aims to educate people about the banjoâs african origins and history in Black music, accepts donations of banjos to be distributed for free to Black folks who are interested in playing, and offers shows and events oriented toward helping Black people reconnect to their roots through this instrument.
thereâs a campout that starts tomorrow, june 4th, and an online study group that starts this weekend, june 6th, and some events and shows this summer that look really fun. thereâs also a newsletter for any future events!
looks like i canât put the link to the website, but itâs just the name of the project dot org
I have always loved a good banjo. It's crazy bc it's from Africa, but it always gets a bad rap as a Southern White Hick stereotype. Which, interestingly enough, is probably why they gave it to Remmick. A sort of sign that even in this, he's trying to use Our Music to get Inside to Us. But anyway, somebody shredding on a banjo is đ¤đžđĽ
I'd actually love to participate in something like that, because I gave up on this guitar đ I don't have the memory and focus anymore to teach myself music.
