    In his most ambitious project to date, unrivaled master of the banjo Béla Fleck traveled to Africa in 2005 to trace the roots of his instrument in the stringed gourds and percussive lutes of Uganda, Tanzania, Gambia, and Mali. Fleck documented his travels and explorations in the film, Throw Down Your Heart. Now, in The Africa Project, Fleck brings his collaborations to life in a very special performance featuring an extraordinary ensemble of all-star African musicians.
