When slaves were brought to the United States, they brought their music and musical instruments with them. Some of them were quite similar to those that were already in America. Others were very much different in sound and appearance. The instrument in the photo is a ?????? Maybe it was meant to be played as a single instrument or maybe it was meant to be played in concert with other instruments. That doesn't matter in the grand view of things...........what does matter is that even though those people were viewed as broken in life-style, they certainly were not broken in their culture and spirit.
