    The `banjo` is a stringed instrument developed by enslaved Africans in the United States, adapted from several African instruments. The name `banjo` commonly is thought to be derived from the Kimbundu term `mbanza`. Some etymologists derive it from a dialectal pronunciation of `bandore`, though recent research suggests that it may come from a Senegambian term for the bamboo stick used for the instrument's neck.
