International Blues Music Day at Angel Of The Odd

Blues music all day for International Blues Music Day - a global celebration of the blues, held on the first Saturday in August.
The Story Behind International Blues Music Day -
The blues was born in the Deep South of the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, growing out of the work songs, field hollers, spirituals, and chants of African Americans, many of them descendants of enslaved people. From the Mississippi Delta to the juke joints of the South, this raw, emotionally direct music gave voice to hardship, resilience, love, and longing. It would go on to shape almost every form of popular music that followed, from jazz and rhythm and blues to rock and roll, soul, and hip hop.
