There is an awesome documentary about the roots of the banjo called Throw Down Your Heart. Bela Fleck (probably the most renowned banjo player in the world) travels to different parts of Africa to learn about the traditional banjo and play with some of the local musicians. Highly recommend. Its on Netflix.
