Its influence on other musical genres continues to inspire not only African-Americans, but also young people around the world. In times of oppression, the blues developed as a means of communication, an expression of community and solidarity. The blues is non-political - it is an authentic expression of human feelings, pain, love, pleasure and anger. It encapsulates the very essence of humanity and the recognition that basic human experiences are universal.
Blues connects!
