Rhiannon Giddens traces the banjo from her ancestors to BeyoncΓ©
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Fresh Airβs own podcast host.
A self-described “folkie to the bone,” Giddens talks with Terry Gross about channeling her ancestors through her instrument, playing on BeyoncΓ©βs country single βTexas Hold βEm,β and a connection between Irish folk music and Dolly Parton. Giddens also sings and plays banjo and fiddle throughout the interview. Her latest album, Hope Is the Thing with Feathers, takes its name from an Emily Dickinson poem.
