Banjo
Banjo is a musical instrument with four, five or six strings. Simple forms of the banjo were first made by peoples of African descent in the United States, similar to several instruments found in Africa. The banjo is commonly used in country (https://uz.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country), folk, Irish folk music, and bluegrass (https://uz.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bluegrass&action =edit&redlink=1) used in music styles.
The banjo was brought to the southern states of the United States from West Africa in the 17th century. An improved form appeared in the 19s of the 30th century. At first, the instrument was known only among African Americans, and later it became widespread throughout America. In the 20th century, new types of banjo appeared. Types of banjo: banjo-ukulele, banjo-mandolin, banjo-tenor, banjo-guitar
The banjo has a round belly that is covered with animal skin or plastic. A banjo has 4, 5, or 6 steel strings strung on a long handle with a metal fret. Banjo is used as a solo and as an accompaniment. The sound of the instrument is sharp and sonorous.
