In this video the musicians are playing two intsruments that have a historical values as for back as the time of slavery. the cigar box guitar, and can bass are world renouned for theie unique sound and historical remnince. Many fomous historcal musians like Bo-Diddly,Muddy Waters,The Mighty Sparrow have used this instrument. I personally own two One being an electric punch cigar box like the one the guy is playing, but with three Strings. The other one is also a punch that I am building myself, with a studibaker hub cap as a resonator.
