Hello guys!
Do you know Cee lo Green sings a musical
style called Rhythm and Blues? Do you know it?
The Rhythm and Blues is a designation for a variety of
black music styles from the United States, that appeared in 1940. In the Second
World War, it was difficult to keep a lucrative schedule of shows, so some “big
bands” leaders were forced to reduce the groups. These “reduced big bands”
specialized in hard-swing and boogie-woogie, more simple, but having humorous
lyrics and savage performances. So they were called “jump blues” and just later
the expression Rhythm and Blues came be used.
After contribute for rock’n roll development, R&B
was used - especially by whites groups – to refer to musical styles that were
based on blues or electric blues, gospel and soul music. It is a style that
involve the jazz swing, creating the hard bop, with the blues ‘rhythm and
riffs, in sensual songs about love.
Antecedent the rock’n roll, the R&B establishes
varied connections on the north America popular music, from the blues to the
hip hop. The music done by principals Britain rock groups in 1960, as The
Beatles or Rolling Stones, have sources on R&B, making this style broad and
influential on the contemporary music.
The style have been interpreted by talents as
Ruth Brown, Big Joe Turner, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Boyz II Men, Alicia Keys,
Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars,
Whitney Houston and others.
Today no one uses the expression “ rhythm
and blues”, but R&B or soul music, covering the pop and funk music.
