~ THE TRUTH OF THE RHYTHM AND THE BLUES IN MODERN MUSIC ~ Pt. (1) Written By Bruce Hawes (To read all of Part (1) press: See more) BH wrote: Soul music is “Blues” genre music. And this evolved form of the Blues is now created with more complex rhythms and is the direct result of the blues-music genre. In other words, the two music genres are quite related if not the same genre with the distinction of modern instrumentation, key progressions and lyric subjects. Because of a the assimilation of a race of people, who were introduced to pianos and other styles of music instruments the African American of the late 1900s, those 19th and early 20th century artists took the Diddley bow, (one string tied at both ends of a stick stuck into the bottom of a washpan), type instrument, and developed an entire genre of music who’s influence would last into the 21st century. Yes, its true, modern soul music’s style was derived from blues-music. The soul-music category is currently the #1 music genre of streaming plays on the Internet in the world today. Blues is an African American music art form that actually can be traced back to West African music. And its origin is a direct result of the slave-songs of freedom written and sung in the fields of the south. The first blues song in sheet music was first published in the late 19th century. Country Music and Blues music began in the late 1900s at about the same time in the south after the emancipation proclamation period. And both genres have used banjos in its music. But Blues has had more influence on American music culture. African American music has had as much influence on our modern society as the invention of the light bulb and the worldwide use of electricity has had on our society. The reason why I have determined this is because the “Blues,” as it is known, uses the call and response style patterns in its song’s words and melodies. And once again, blues-music in its modern form is called soul-music. Between 1870 and 1900, a period that coincides with post emancipation and, later, the development of juke joints was where Blacks went to listen to music, dance, or gamble after a hard days work. Even now, today, this has not changed. This period corresponds to the transition from slavery to sharecropping, small-scale agricultural production, and the expansion of railroads in the southern United States. In the 20th century legendary artists like Bessie Smith popularized and immortalized this genre in the early recordings of blues-music. Decades after, blues has evolved. And this genre of music has forged its way into a more individual expression of music that African American community has called; (and they relate African music to their very essence), Soul-music. Because of the simple, relatable approach to melodies and lyrics, and the musical instruments added in the 1920s, that were a part of blues music patterns, Jazz music was borne. After that, Be Bop, Boogaloo, Rock & Roll, R&B, Blues-Rock-Music, and now, Hip-Hop music artists can all give thanks to this African American culture genre that society calls (the Blues), for its own present form. And it all began with the call and response patterns in the songs sung in the slave fields of America. So I now present to you the truth of the rhythm and the blues in modern music… BH also shared his article with the friends and fans of: Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, 成龍 Jackie Chan, Will Smith, Pharrell Williams, Robin Thicke, Garth Brooks, Katy Perry, Emily Monaghan, Jae B Thesoulman, Jazz Archives, George Bussey, Theodore T Life Jr, Daisuke Atake D-funk, Carlton L Rodney, Rodney To McCain Sr., Jerry Wells, Kenny Gamble, Caliph Gamble, Mary J.
