One of my favorite albums of the last 10 years is Otis Taylor's "Recapturing the Banjo" (Here's a Spotify link too.)

> “I want people to know that the banjo came from Africa—that it’s an African instrument,” Taylor explains by phone from his Colorado home. “Recapturing the Banjo is an educational album, not just good music. A lot of people think the banjo was developed for bluegrass or Appalachian folk music, but banjo-like instruments discovered on archeological digs in North Africa have been dated back at least 700 years. I want to recapture the banjo’s identity as a black instrument. It didn’t get here until the slaves did.”

Yeah for the B-Side release they tried to master it to sound studio but it was originally broadcast on TV with a slighlty rawer mix. You can also get it on this DVD - https://www.amazon.com/Shelter-Storm-Concert-Gulf-Coast/dp/B000BX44I0
