Blues is the name given to both a musical form and a music genre created within the African- American communities in the Deep South of the United States at the end of the 19th century from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants. Wilson incorporated the blues throughout fences. He says "the blues are life's instructions contrary to what most people think, it's not defeatist, 'Oh, woe is me.' It's very life-affirming, uplifting music. Because you can sing that song, that's what enables you to survive." |
