'''Blues''' is a genre of music originating in [[America]]. It evolved from field shouts and hollers of slaves in the Deep South, and many of its properties are similar to those of ethnic [[African]] music. These characteristics include [[tumbling strain]], [[call and response]] structure, and short, repetitive phrases. Blues is also known for its 12-bar chord progression and [[blue notes]], which can be found in a majority of blues songs.
