In this web site you will find information about our albums, songs, cultural events, music roots, languages, travel show, vedios, workshops, and about Essau Pwelle- way of life representing music nearly to extinction.

Our mission is to restore and preserve African banjo music, tradition, history, African culture, and share with all the ages from pre-schools, elementary schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA/YWCA clubs, senior centers, colleges, and universities world wide.

 Our music is soulful music that revels the true love of our ancestor's, forgiveness, and caring for one another. My music was introduced to this world about  400 years ago. Unfortunately is not very well known muisc among our generations. Thus why I'm hre to restore and unfold the African Banjo history and share with you!

African Banjo is 4 stringed instrument with origin from Africa. Its influence comes from Bantu ethnic group which comprise 68% of the African continent's population. Among that ethinic group is Essau Pwelle from Wandali tribe in Tanzania- East Africa. To learn more about our African Banjo history please visit our history page.
