Blues is a broad style of music that emerged from the Deep South in African-American communities during the late-19th century. The genre grew out of Christian spirituals which were associated with the hardships that American slaves faced. It was also inspired by the traditional music of Africa, using call-and-response vocals and the blue note, which was influenced by West Africa’s musical scales. The blues is believed to have taken off with the abolition of slavery and springing of juke joints.
