 Blues music has its roots in African American communities, way back to the late 1800's. A kind of music, usually associated with sadness and slavery issues, became the foundation for many other genres to come. On the episode of today I'll talk a little about it, and the legend surrounding one of the most influencial blues singers of all time. Do you want to listen to the story? Check it out! SHOW NOTES:• Blues started out as a musical genre in African American communities. • The lyrics of early blues were also about slavery problems. Sometimes serious, sometimes satyrical. • Robert Johnson was one of the most influencial Blues singers. He only lived for 27 years, but his legacy is timeless. • Legend has it that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the skills to create the music that made him famous.
