The blues is a uniquely American musical genre that has had a profound impact on music and culture around the world. Originating in the African American community in the rural South, the blues has evolved over the years to encompass a wide range of styles and subgenres. From the traditional acoustic Delta blues to the electric blues of Chicago, the blues has been a constant source of inspiration for musicians and listeners alike.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the blues from a global perspective. Scholars have begun to explore the ways in which the blues has influenced and been influenced by other musical traditions around the world. This new work, New Perspectives on the Blues: African American Music in Global Perspective, brings together a team of leading scholars to examine the blues from a variety of perspectives, including its African origins, its impact on other genres of music, and its role in shaping American culture.
