Kristina R. Gaddy discusses her book, Well of Souls: Uncovering the Banjo’s Hidden History. The book follows the instrument from the 17th Century, when enslaved people of African descent created it out of gourds and calabashes to the beginning of Blackface Minstrelsy and the banjo’s appropriation by white Americans. In this deep and revealing history, Gaddy uncovers the banjo’s key role in Black spirituality, ritual, and rebellion, establishing it as an instrument born from African American beliefs and traditions.
