Yes, the blues was created by African Americans. The blues originated in the North Mississippi Delta following the Civil War. For many years it was recorded only by memory and relayed live and in person. It was influenced by African roots, field hollers, ballads, church music and rhythmic dance tunes; where a singer would sing a line, and the guitar would answer. The blues then traveled to Memphis.
