Adding this in case you’re curious what a karnay sounds like #Ethnomusicology #WorldMusic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWJoSOv5h_o
this is Jerron Paxton with No More the Moon Shines on Lorena, accompanying himself on a minstrel #banjo. It's possible you've never heard this type of very percussive stroke style.
In his intro he says banjo comes from the word for papyrus. Let me clarify. Ban in various Manding languages means palm tree; used for making palm wine (banji) and ropes/string from its root fibres (banjulo). It's the best theory for the initial element IMHO.

Jerron Paxton at The Ark: No More the Moon Shines on Lorena
Whenever I share some Hindustani classical #Music it's inevitable that I get YT recommendations featuring one of my favourite singers, Kaushiki Chakraborty.
this is Unfulfilled from her JamRoom series. It features voice, sarangi, keyboard, tabla and percussion. Stylistically it goes quite #Jazz #Fusion with Hindustani classical elements like thumri and ghazal vocal style, sarangi shadowing the sung melody, and rupaktal (7 beats).

Just finished listening to the World roots episode "Festival on the Niger", originally broadcast on 26 Aug 2006 on BBC radio 3, and featuring live #Music by Abdoulaye Diabaté, Neba Solo and Habib Koité, alongside impressions, interviews, etc.
The presenter, Lucy Duran, was a lecturer at SOAS while I was studying #Ethnomusicology there. We've had some truly great conversations. I really should listen to more of these episodes, they're just wonderful. #WorldMusic
