Rhiannon Giddens is on the latest episode of NPR's Code Switch podcast to talk with co-host B.A. Parker, who is learning to play the banjo and is looking to find community and reclaim an instrument rooted in Black culture.

"What I hear from folks in the community, in our community who are learning this music, it's not like, 'Oh, I just want to play the banjo so I can play some tunes,'" Giddens tells Parker. "It's like, there's this connection, right? There's this historical connection, there's this cultural connection, there's this ancestral connection, and that's a different thing to me."
