Blues, emerging from the African-American experience in the Southern United States, is a music genre characterized by its expressive 'blue notes,' emotional intensity, and lyrical depth. Originating in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it blends spirituals, work songs, and folk music. Legends like B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Etta James used the blues to express sorrow, joy, and resilience. Its influence is vast, laying the groundwork for genres like rock 'n' roll and jazz, making the blues an essential thread in the tapestry of American music.
