African slaves in the American south and Appalachia  fashioned banjos after instrument  they had  been familiar with Africa, with some of the  earliest instruments being referred  to  now as gourd banjos. Another likely ancestor of the banjo is the akonting,  a spike folk lute played by the  jola tribe of Senegambia. How it was made; it was made from a gourd [like a pumpkin], cut in half,  with a  sheepskin tied tightly over it. Modern banjos are made from wood and are from the string family.

This is a feaure that forms a different made of tunning from the e’ageb tuning of the ban jar [note the g# has been flattered]. The modern banjo was popularized by the American minstrel performer Joel Sweeney in the 1830s.some banjos have a different resonator plate on the back of the pot, while other people have an open back. There are also electric banjos. What type of music does it play; the banjo can be played in many styles and is used in types of forms of music. American old time music usually uses the five string open back banjo
