What is blues?

Answering this question musicians usually say, ‘Blues is when a good man feels sad and lonely,’ or ‘Blues is a feeling of a good man when his girl leaves him.’ In dictionaries, blues is defined not only as a style of music but also as a feeling of deep unhappiness. It was an emotion long before it became a kind of music. Blues was born in North America at the beginning of the last century among Afro-Americans. African roots, influence of ‘white’ folk music and jazz as a basis gave birth to this new style.

The romantic image of a bluesman is a poor lonely man with his guitar and the blues as his only friend. The blues to a singer may be like person, whom he is talking to, an old friend ready to listen and help. One of the most famous blues begins like this:

Good morning, blues,
