Banjos: The Rhythmic Soul of Americana

The Banjo’s Rich Cultural Heritage

The banjo, with its origins in African traditions, has become an emblem of American roots music. Featuring a drum-like body and strings, its unique twang has defined bluegrass, country, and folk genres for centuries.

Variants include four-string, five-string, and six-string banjos, each catering to specific musical styles. Icons like Earl Scruggs popularized the banjo’s iconic sound, making it a cornerstone of American music. Roxy Music’s collection includes top-quality models from Fender, Ibanez, and Washburn.
