With the arrival of slaves in America and following their emancipation in the mid-19th century starts the evolution of a new culture, a new music..and more.

​

The “Blues” is a blog dedicated to the music of the black people of the US. The blues might be just a small part of that musical world, but it is still one of the first kinds of music that can solely be characterized as “black”.

​

This blog addresses all those who listen to, explore and love the blues, jazz and soul music and the African-American history.

This blog aims to stand as a digital archive, a database for whoever wants to know more!

​

In this effort, any help is welcome! You can participate by enriching the archive with your knowledge, providing sources, pointing out mistakes or omissions and adding your own ideas.
