ブルース blues music

What is the blues? It is very simple that we can literally understand that English is Blues, which means blue, and blue is the representative color of melancholy, so the musical mode that naturally expresses melancholy becomes blues. Moreover, from the perspective of music development, it is closely related to all kinds of music development, especially in Europe and America, and is inextricably linked to all kinds of music.

Blues music is a musical style created by black people living in the United States in their hard life. In the process of social development at that time, black people were regarded as the working people at the bottom, and this great musical form was bred in their miserable history, which was in sharp contrast with their social status at that time. It originated in the delta of the Mississippi River, originated in the early 2th century, and worked as a labor bugle for people in the early days. At first, Blues was mainly a narrative of human voice, in which all the anguish and happiness in life were sung extemporaneously. Later, in the process of evolution and development, musical instruments were added, usually with wooden guitars and harmonicas. Its emergence made great contributions to jazz, rock music, country music and western music at that time. It can be said that it is an important part of western music.

In the 192s, Blues rose gradually with its unique lyrics, harmonious rhythm and melancholy melody. Although the lead singer is the focus in Blues music, the improvisation of musical instruments is also very wonderful. Musicians can go beyond the boundaries of chords and play freely. Apart from the melancholy melody, they also include the scraping sound of knives and the use of sliders, as well as the humming sound of imitating the lead singer.

Today, Blues music has been gradually incorporated into the mainstream music, and many of its elements have been more applied to rock music and pop music. But the traditional Blues music still has great strength.
