heroes - Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara

It's not banjo but it is blues. The way that Adams and Camara meld African and blues music is stunning, and they are great live. Juldeh Camara is a virtuoso who plays a range of gourd based instruments, some of which he plucks, that are not a million miles away from the gourd banjo. Their recent album 'Soul Science' captures the overlaps between blues and African styles and makes something special out of the two. There's a couple of tracks on the juke box at the moment.
