Pick of the Week - The Banjo Bands of Malawi

(Very) upbeat banjo music from the southeast African country of Malawi.

We're back to Malawi again. This time to discuss the banjo. The first clip looks like it's taken from this DVD, of "of audio-visual field recordings filmed by renowned Malawian cultural anthropologist Moya A. Malamusi." The second clip is from the Voice of America's Music Time in Africa show and takes a quick look at the roots of Malawaian banjo music.
