A foundational root of popular music, bluesblues was originally created during the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century in the South of the United States of AmericaAmerica. A post-slavery creation, blues developed within the African-AmericanAfrican American community as a wounded but liberating expression in the segregated and discriminatory Jim CrowJim Crow system. In this context, blues became a counterstatement with inherent political implications. As expressed by African-American author Albert MurrayMurray, Albert (1976, p. 68), “it is the disposition to persevere (based on a tragic, or, better still, an epic sense of life) that blues music at its best not only embodies but stylizes, extends, elaborates, and refines into art.”
