Description

Blues used to be once described as the devil’s music. It sooner or later became one of the crucial most beloved American music that used to be embraced by a global audience. Originating in African American communities within the South within the late 1800s, it used to be inspired by gospel and non secular music sung by field hands and sharecroppers who worked on plantations. All through the Great Migration from the early 1900s to the mid-1970s, many African Americans moved north for a greater quality of life. Chicago used to be certainly one of The usa’s leading industrialized cites, and manufacturing jobs were plentiful and provided better wages than sharecropping. Many blues musicians who worked as field hands and sharecroppers moved to Chicago not only for those jobs, but also to pursue their love of music. Greats such as Big Bill Broonzy, Tampa Red, Muddy Waters, Jimmy and Estelle Yancey, Robert Nighthawk, Elmore James, Willie Dixon, Earl Hooker, Koko Taylor, Sly Johnson, Buddy Guy, Howlin’ Wolf, Eddie Burns, Zora Young, Junior Wells, and a host of others came with their very own styles and gave birth to Chicago blues.
