Music Genres The Blues are a style of music that originated in the African American Communities As Africans were brought to this country and forced into slavery, they brought with them their culture and style of music. The blues reflect the hardships and difficulties of slavery and the life they now were forced to lead. In the 1900s, the Blues had developed into a standard musical form and they continued to develop further into the 1930s. The blues began to divide into two different sounds: the country or rural blues and the city or urban blues. With the development of the electric guitar in the late 1940s/early 1950s, a newer style of blues was being heard and even played on the radio.
