The Banjo was originally an instrument of African origins, the banjo was taken up in the late 1800s by Anglo-American musicians who popularized the instrument in traveling minstrel shows and in ragtime music. Its association with bluegrass came with the stylistic innovation of Earl Scruggs in the mid-1940s, when he joined founding father Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys. Scruggs's arpeggiated, three-finger picking style is now commonplace among banjo players, and his breakneck playing in Monroe's band led to the inclusion of the banjo, along with mandolin and guitar, as the primary instruments of the bluegrass sound.
