Blues
Blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music. It emerged in
African American communities from spirituals, work songs, shouts and
chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballards. The use of blue notes
and the prominence of call and response patterns in the music and
lyrics are indicative of African influence. The blues influenced
later American and Western popular music, as it became the roots of
jazz, r&b, rock and roll, blue grass, hip hop and other popular
music forms.
