Palm-wine music and the Kru seafarers
evidence
Kru seamen of Liberia and Sierra Leone worked aboard European vessels, acquired guitars, and from the First World War onward spread a two-finger picking technique — reported to derive from Akan seperewa playing — along the West African coast through Krutown settlements, giving rise to dockside palm-wine music and thence to guitar-band highlife. V55 verification basis: retrieved in search summary from music-history sites rather than from ethnomusicological literature; none was opened, and the seperewa derivation rests on oral tradition reported at second hand.
A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
