Program Description
It may seem as American as apple pie, but the banjo has its roots in Mali, Africa while the guitar comes from Spain and many percussion rhythms can be traced to Cuba and South America. In this interactive program, musician Curtis Blues plays musical instruments from around the world, demonstrating how American popular music springs from many different cultures and countries. Students will learn how different cultures approached building instruments from their unique environments and how their choices still influence the music we listen to today.
