The world's premiere banjo virtuoso, Béla Fleck, has been a dominant creative force in bluegrass, jazz, pop, classical, and world music. For The Africa Project, Béla journeyed to Africa to explore the little known African origins of the banjo. This pioneering collaboration with some of the continent's greatest musicians resulted in an award-winning documentary and recording, Throw Down Your Heart.
