Otis Taylor Recapturing the Banjo

This is a promo video from the record label explaining what Otis Taylor's "Recapturing the Banjo" project is all about. He collaborates with fellow African-American roots musicians like Corey Harris, Keb Mo, and others. The banjo, if you don't know, is the sole American instrument that has been shown to be clearly of African origin, but over the years became associated with only white music. So that's what "recapturing the banjo" is about. Wonderful stuff.
