Blues as a music genre has roots in the African-American slave trade, where the slaves would sing as they worked, or at night to entertain themsleves.

As the songs or music wasn't happy, it gained the name "the blues"

It was then brought over to Britain with ships coming into to port, giving birth to rock n roll.
