Özet: Black traditions of music, song and dance have a long history which goes far back to the times of slavery and African heritage. The ability of African Americans to adapt their music, to create, to improvise words and to enact themes is evident in innumerable reminiscences and reports. All of this is relevant and has had an influence on the shaping of the music. This essay will be trace the development of Blues, discussing its functions and purposes in American society and assessing value as a means of expressing black American concerns, referring specifically to a range of examples. I have chosen a chronological order of the materials, tracing the history of Blues from its origin in Africa through its manifestations in colonial America and then in the United States, up to present time
