banjo. There are two theories about banjo’s origin. One holds that the word derives from a black mispronunciation of ban- dore, an English word of Spanish origin denoting a musical in- strument similar to the banjo. The other cites the Angolan Kimbunde-language mbanza, which also means a banjo-like in- strument. It would be hard to prove or disprove either theory. |
