Nora Brown, the banjo prodigy singing tales of Appalachia | AFP
At an age when most teenagers are busy learning the latest Tik Tok dance craze, banjo virtuoso Nora Brown has just released her second album of old-time twang. When her parents gifted her a ukulele for Christmas at age six they never envisioned she would grow into one of the bluegrass world's rising stars. The now 16-year-old raised in Brooklyn is among the musicians carrying on traditions from the mountains of Appalachia passed down from the genre's old masters.

Absolutely awesome
A gifted and brilliant musician...
I love this sweet intelligent amazing little Angel who's landed here on Earth. What a super talented prodigy of grace, sophistication, and so pretty, and again...soooo intelligent. I love this little Angel🙏🎶🌸
The Banjo, or a form of it was brought to the Americas by the Spanish and Portuguese 110 years before the first black slave set foot in the America's. It was an Asian instrument that spread throughout the world long before that.
Well, she does not play or sing bluegrass. Rather it’s traditional folk music from the Appalachian tradition. So she’s not a star in the bluegrass world.

True it is not bluegrass in any fashion but the line will always be blurred for most people. I just hope she prospers in the business because she has every chance of carving out a unique and interesting niche.
Bluegrass? Somebody at AFP is missing the point
