Canadian banjo player Jayme Stone shared a series of banjo travelogues with our readers during his recent musical journey through West Africa. Jayme was traveling on a Chalmers Arts Fellowship grant to research the music of African musicians who perform on banjo-like instruments, and will embark soon on a recording based on these musical explorations.
Last week, The Toronto Star ran a brief feature on Jayme’s trip in which he capsulized some of what he learned in Mali. You can read the piece online on the Star web site.
