Summary: <p>On this episode, I speak with singer, songwriter, and music educator Hannah Mayree about her journey in music, culture, tradition, and the Black Banjo Reclamation Project. </p> <p>Hannah Mayree (she/her/they/them) is a creative facilitator and musician whose work and art lend itself as a tool for redesigning and reconnecting to our roots as humans on this planet. A banjoist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and vocalist, Hannah shares original and traditional banjo compositions and harmonies through acoustic live vocal looping. She reminds us of the power found in our relationship to the earth, music, and community.</p> <p>They co-founded and creatively direct the Black Banjo Reclamation Project, which is currently creating musical, cultural, and land-based opportunities for Black, Afro-Diasporic communities around the world to work with the banjo as a tool for reclaiming ancestral wisdom & creating Afro-futures. </p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="http://hannahmayree.com">http://hannahmayree.com</a></p> <p><a href="http://blackbanjoreclamationproject.org">http://blackbanjoreclamationproject.org</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/Hannahmayree?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator">https://www.patreon.com/Hannahmayree?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator</a> (embedded link for Patreon)</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hannah_mayree/?hl=en">https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwj5p_TWzYH9AhUUHzQIHdd6A2QQFnoECAoQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fhannah_mayree%2F%3Fhl%3Den&usg=AOvVaw3x0r2TmDf43NArkHU-9iAF</a></p> <p>(Embedded link for Instagram)</p> <p>Videos: <a href="https://youtu.be/EANT04mAd44">https://youtu.be/EANT04mAd44</a></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/og3r1stPR9w">https://youtu.be/og3r1stPR9w</a></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/X7JjQZJRtbs">https://youtu.be/X7JjQZJRtbs</a></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/z1BAVugqVGE">https://youtu.be/z1BAVugqVGE</a></p> <p>Lessons/Teaching:</p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/19LCljx1e4cvDVKvV0JMYedtJnd4aZvfhge8o-Wsl0A0/edit">https://docs.google.com/document/d/19LCljx1e4cvDVKvV0JMYedtJnd4aZvfhge8o-Wsl0A0/edit</a> </p> <p>Articles:</p> <p>https://afropop.org/articles/black-banjo-reclamation-projects-hannah-mayree</p> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/africanamericanfolklorist/message
