WII DOWNLOADS - BLUES MUSIC

wii downloads - blues music:
Blues music began in America’s southern states, mainly speaking of hard times. It spread with southern black Americans from rural farms to cities along the Mississippi River - New Orleans, Memphis and St. Louis. It also had a big influence on future American music such as ragtime, jazz, bluegrass and rock roll and was perfected in the mid-twentieth century by greats such as BB King and other well known musicians.

Blues music is very unique for the simple fact that it was created without any European influence at all, although it did become very popular with British musicians.

Blues music started being played at after-hours dances, which eventually led to dancers going to blues music clubs and holding house parties that played a selection of blues and blues-rooted music.

Blues music is an acknowledgement to the hardships that West African slaves went through as they fought to free themselves from slavery and move from the deep south to cities across the country, in search of better jobs and a new life.
