pop-culture of homework for house of blue

In my pop culture class, I enjoyed the filed trip to the House of Blues. Before I never know about Blues music. Because I don't understand music. and I could not discriminate kind of music. But I watched different art pictures at the house of Blues. I also watched six performers. These performances included a drummer, guitar player, piano player and singing and dancing.

In the ealy 1900's there was a great migration of poor black workers to Chicago from the south who brought traditional jazz and blues music to the city.Chicago blues uses a variety of instruments in a rock and roll type of music. The instruments used are electrically amplified guitar, drums, piano, bass guitar and sometimes saxophone or harmonica. Famous Blues musicians include Muddy waters, Howlin Wolf, Willie Dixon, Freddy King, Buddy Guy.

Sometimes even the trumpet is used . The original form of music was street corner based music. It eventually attained commercial status. At first only black people attended blues performances on the south side. Then eventually clubs opened up on the north side and whites also attended. Blues and rock in roll music are one types of music that had their origins in African Slave music.

I am listened that Blues music as like sad, people as like very suffering at that time.
I think the Blues music reflection people life at that time, the slaves hope to freedom. They are hard work , but never got money, they are earn money for rich people all the life. So it is no fair.
However the slaves used music to tell people that they hope to get freedom and equity.

The Blues music from African, I listened the music at house of blues in Chicago. it also represents African contribution to music.
