The Origins of the Blues The blues was born and grew as a result of slavery of black communities in the southern regions of the United States is considered the manifestation of a secular sense, and of pain, which had a long, inexorable path humane and civilized, and first discovered in the poetic word, singing and accompanying her in a second phase the possibility of large and anxious expression. The birth date of the meeting between the poetic and musical expression should be placed around 1870, which means bitter complaint of a large community of blacks who suddenly finds the strength and courage to express his anguish in a moan of pain, which is sometimes reflected in a raging war song, a cry from the misery caused by the vacuum that is unconsciously behind. It happened after the eighteenth century that some slave traders, owners of colonies on the coast of the transport of blacks started to sell in areas where America was required manpower at low cost and that was "offered" by the market of men color.
Although the blacks slaves settled in the territory of Louisiana enjoyed more freedom than they happen to those who had arrived in the British possessions and the Puritans. This explains why early blues, in their modes of expression were born in New Orleans and its surroundings on the banks of the Mississippi where they could continue to express their spirituality, their customs and their costumi.Nel blues song still persists, however, the sadness and the pain that everyday transformed into the hope of improvement and is expressed initially with songs accompanied only by hand-clapping, not the music, while always retaining the characteristic of poetry that expresses a state of desolation and bitter regret nostalgia.I blues singing many different topics that arise precisely the situation of slavery that is the basis of inspiration.
Over the years the blues has been portrayed as a slow and sad music full of bleak images staff of despair ("My girl left me, I feel grounded, and my life has no meaning"); more than a music, a lament. Of course, it's all fake. The blues is a means of self-expression, a kind of catharsis, we can say. This will help to raise the artist, and consequently the listener, from the pains of life.

THE BLUES The blues is a musical genre born in the mid-1800s on the plantations, which winds along the Cotton Belt in the USA. The blues is the father of modern music. Genres such as rock, jazz and all kinds of derivatives are taken life by the sounds of early blues musicians 1900.I first blues ("bluesmen") were born in Louisiana known around New Orleans on the Mississippi River Delta. They were all slaves (or descendants of slaves) were deported from Africa to perform the most menial and laborious in the employ of the white masters. This condition exclusion obviously created strong tensions and movements of rebellion, but the white repression was still too strong. Still persists in singing blues sadness and pain that result in daily hope of improving the blues musical tradition was born from the encounter between African and European musical instruments, at first was simply the expression of a collective discomfort, but quickly turned into a sort of parallel channel of communication between the various black communities. His lyrics and ungrammatical child was in fact the actual messages in code. The blues has a relatively simple structure for both the music and for that of the text. The African musical tradition is based on musical intervals are different from those in the Western system and the melodic instruments are tuned differently. This encouraged the use of voice, guitar and harmonica, all the tools to play out of tune (bending) check that they needed musicians to bring their music to that of their ancestors. These "false notes" still have the indelible mark of the blues sound.
