12 bar blues By Serena Lewis
How did they became slaves • In the 18th and 19th centuries thousands of Africans force to go to America and become slaves and became a living nightmare. • The Africans had to split from there family children split from there parents husbands split from there wife’s and had to be separate from each other. If they don’t do as there were they get beaten by there master. And they have to do there job.
When was the slaves set free • The slaves was free in 1865 and the freedom was worse than slavery because the slaves would still be held down of any kind of privilege. • Because they would sell them so they could work for peoples houses. • When the slaves are sad they would sing a song. • The chords is two or more notes played together. • What does the 12 bar blues mean? It means the length of the music is twelve bars. • Also the instruments that they’d use is the most popular instrument is drums, sticks, shakers, tambourines, large beef bones, wood blocks.
