I love rock music. It's crazy that it wouldn't be here without blues, folk and jazz music
I guess there's a really rich history there. When did rock music really begin?
Drawing from Blues and country music, it started in the 1940s.
Blues music goes way back as well. From what I understand it originated in Southern plantations in the 19th Century.
Oh yes! It included work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants and ballads.
And what about country music? I think it was around the 1920s?
Most definitely. It's mainly ballads and upbeat dance songs with simple styles. Guitars and banjos are both included.
I'm not a fan of country, but I do love rock music. Amazing how two very different things can share history like that.
Disco included male and female fans. People in the US from all kinds of backgrounds got together and danced at clubs.
Did disco start in the 70s? Or am I mistaken?
