Blues has its roots with African people brought to North America to work as slaves in cotton farms, in what became today southern United States. They sing about pain and the hardships of life, lost love, mean women and such. It has a very distinct rhythm. It became popular all over the world in the beginning of the 20th century. And it heavily influenced rock and roll.
Love,
Dad
