What is "blues"?
Blues is a genre of music that originated in the African American communities of the southern United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is characterized by its expressive melodies and often uses a specific pattern of chords known as the "blues progression". Blues typically features instruments like guitar, harmonica, and piano, accompanied by strong vocals. The lyrics often explore themes of heartache, hardship, life experiences, and resilience, delivered in a raw and heartfelt manner. The genre's simple, repetitive structure has made it highly influential in many other styles of music, including jazz, rock, and R&B.
