About us
Black Banjo Reclamation Project (BBRP) is a cultural institution focused on reinstating and reconnecting Black people with African-based, diasporic cultural traditions of the banjo in local communities and around the world. BBRP’s organizing leadership, along with participants in our programs, have taken action towards the reclamation of the banjo firmly based in the racial, social, economic, historical, spiritual, earth-based and practical ways that music can be used as a form of cultural healing.
BBRP has meet ups in various cities (Bay Area, L.A. Chicago, New York City, etc.), but this group is specifically for the Baltimore Area, with an occasional the DMV event. Learn more about BBRP at www.blackbanjoreclamationproject.org
