The flow of vocal and instrumental music are from the United States precisely born of African-American ethnicity in the Mississippi Delta peninsula and began to develop rapidly in the late 19th century AD around the year 1895. Blues emerged from spiritual music and chanted the usual compliment the black community in the African American who worked as a laborer, at which time they work or break the evening they always sing the praises of God and also the sad songs (blues) are melodies typical African race, and of course with the lyrics of the oppressed slaves at that time.
Blues music has been shown to stem from the tradition of Muslims in West Africa, this has been proved by Sylviane Diouf, an author and scientist and researcher at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York. To prove the links between American Blues music with Muslim tradition, Diouf plays two recordings in public that are present in a room at Harvard University, namely: Records containing the call to prayer chant / call for Muslims to perform prayers. Records containing the old blues song that first appeared in the Mississippi Delta about 100 years ago known as the Levee Camp Holler.
Levee Camp Holler is not a blues song is fairly common. The song was created by black Muslims of West African origin who worked in the post-Civil War America. Levee Camp Holler lyrics of the song that is played Diouf it sounded like a call to prayer, and contains about the greatness of God. Like the call to prayer chant, the song emphasizes the words that sound vibrate. According to Diouf, the style nasal between Levee Camp Holler Blues songs similar call to prayer is also an evidence of the relationship between the two.
Jonathan Curiel in his article titled Muslim Roots, U.S. Blues, revealed that the American public need to thank the Muslims from West Africa who live in America circa 1600 to mid 1800 AD, many black residents of west Africa that was brought forcibly to America and made slaves.
According to the historian of around 30% of West African slaves who were forcibly employed in America is a Muslim. Although the master was forced to embrace Christianity, but many of them still run the Islamic religion and culture of origin, they recite the verses of Al Quran every day.
History also records that Muslim sailors from West Africa were the first to discover America before Columbus. So the Muslims have been historically influential in the evolution of American society a few centuries before Columbus found it (Fareed H. Numan in the American Muslim History A Chronological Observation).
Other influences provided the black community, who are Muslims in America to the blues is the musical instruments they can minkan. At first blues song just sung without instrumental accompaniment, and then they use the tools learned guitar as accompaniment. In the era of slavery in America, whites ban them drumming for fear of growing resistance of the slaves. However, the use of stringed instrument commonly played Muslims from Africa were allowed to play because like a violin. Ethnomusikologi professor from the University of Mainz Germany named Prof. Gehard banjo musical instrument Kubik said the Americans also came from Africa.
In particular Prof. Kubik wrote a book about the blues relations with the Islamic civilization in West Africa titled "Africa and the Blues" which was published the University Press of Mississippi in 1999. Academically Prof. Kubik has proved most vocal style blues singers using melisma, wavy intonation. Such vocal style is a legacy community in west Africa who have been in contact with the Islamic world since the 7th century, and 8 AD. Melisma use a lot of tones in one syllable.
While the wavy intonation is a series of major to minor scale and back again, it is most commonly used when the Muslim call to prayer chant and recite the Quran. Prayer and chanting Quran verses from the Muslim blacks in the United States contain musicality. In a congregation in New Jersey, when the priests came together and there are hundreds of people chanting prayers that sounded very musical as the Americans called it "Blues". That tradition of Islam in America has spawned a genre of music called the Blues.
Currently blues music influenced the development of jazz, country and rock. Greatly influenced the development of blues and the urban environment and rural America, where the African race to dominate the style of blues music. The creators of the blues and blues musicians the average American blacks. Music that applying blue notes and call and response pattern of the American public believed it was popularized by WC Handy (1873-1958) is considered the father of the blues.
