Music sung by slaves in the Americas reminded them of their homes. These songs were often about hardships, faith, and freedom. Songs of hardship eventually developed into the music genre called blues.
Blues is a musical genre and format born in the deep south of the United States in the 1860s by African-Americans with African musical traditions, African-American work songs, and spiritual roots.
Music was a way for slaves to express emotions such as sadness, joy, inspiration, and hope. The song was passed down from generation to generation during the slave era. These songs were influenced by African and religious traditions and later formed the basis of the so-called "black spirituals".
