blues
Blues is a secular folk music created by black Americans in the early 20th century. It originated in the South. The blues simple but expressive forms had become one of the most important influences on the development of popular music throughout the United States. The blues are songs expressing feelings rather than telling stories. The emotion expressed is generally one of sadness often due to problems in love.
