Blues

Blues is an African American musical genre and song form that emerged in the late nineteenth-century U.S. South, characterized by the use of the blues scale with blue notes, call-and-response phrasing, and cyclical chord progressions (most typically the twelve-bar pattern) to articulate narratives of everyday experience, suffering, and resilience.
