What does blues style mean in European and American songs?

Introduction to the Blues.

The blues** began in the American South in the early twentieth century. It was originally a short song for the labor of poor blacks, but it was mixed with rhythm and rhyme similar to that of recitation in the church.

This kind of ** has an obvious characteristic, which is to use the form of "one call and one response" similar to Chinese folk songs, which is called "call and reponse" in English. At first, the phrases give people a feeling of nervousness, crying, and helplessness, and then the following phrases seem to comfort and soothe the suffering. It's like a suffering person who cries out to God and is comforted and responded to by God!

Therefore, the blues ** focuses on the catharsis of self-emotion and originality or improvisation, and this improvisational performance method has slowly evolved into various different types of **, such as rock and roll, swing, jazz...Therefore, the blues are also the root of modern fashion.

The harmonica was widely used in the blues** in the mid-twenties, when there were many street performers in the United States, and their common instruments were the five-stringed harp, drums, and a wind instrument called "pan quill pipes." And because the guitar and harmonica performed better than these traditional instruments and were more suitable for performing in open places, the harmonica was gradually used to play the blues**.

In the thirties, many blacks moved to the big city of Chicago, and the blues** and blues harmonica were scattered in the city, and later became the Chicago Blues.

When you listen to the blues**, you will notice that they all seem to follow the same pattern. The reason for this is that the blues** are often used in a standard form called 12 bar blues.

The mainstream uses it to denote that disco has gradually become less popular, and what has developed is to add electronic ** and soul to the ordinary R&B.
