Best Answer

Banjo's are most closely associated with Bluegrass music, but they are played in a wide variety of different music. They were often played in Vaudeville shows, and these days I have heard them in bands playing Contra Dance music, Country Music, not-so-traditional Celtic music, Folk Music. I am not a banjo player, so hopefully someone who is can provide more examples.
