The Music of Bo Diddley

xxx

 

The name "Bo Diddley" is actually a play on words. The Diddley bow, a homemade one-stringed instrument found in parts of the American South in the early twentieth century, and the banjo, are African-derived instruments that may have helped in the transfer of African performance techniques into the early blues instrumental vocabulary.
