The blues has been a major influence on later American and Western popular music, finding its way into jazz, big band, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, country music, and even pop. The blues originated in the Deep South of the United States around the 1870s by African-American workers who worked in the plantations and in the coal mines. They created a new style of music by combining African musical traditions with European folk music. The blues became popular among white Americans after it was featured in minstrel shows and vaudeville theaters in the late 1800s. The first blues recordings were made by white musicians in the 1920s. These recordings were made to appeal to white audiences and did not feature African-American performers. In the 1930s, however, African-American musicians began to record their own versions of the blues, which became very popular with black audiences. The popularity of these recordings helped to spread the blues throughout America and to other parts of the world.
