Vocalo has partnered with the Old Town School of Folk Music and Music Moves Chicago to bring listeners our "Future Folk" series, highlighting several creative, community-centered resources promoted by these organizations. Non-profit Black Banjo Reclamation Project strives to reconnect people to lost traditions of instrument making and fostering connections to the land. Founder Hannah Mayree and co-teacher Sule Greg Wilson spoke with Vocalo storytelling and community engagement producer Ari Mejia about the organization and the importance of reclaiming tradition.
This installment of “Future Folk” was produced by Ari Mejia. To learn more about the Black Banjo Reclamation Project, visit blackbanjoreclamationproject.org. Special thanks to The Old Town School of Folk Music and Music Moves Chicago.
