Little is known about the exact origin of the music now known as the blues. No specific year can be cited as the origin of the blues, largely because the style evolved over a long period and existed in approaching its modern form before the term blues was introduced and before the style was thoroughly documented. Ethnomusicologist Gerhard Kubik traces the roots of many of the elements that were to develop into the blues back to the African continent, the "cradle of the blues". One important early mention of something closely resembling the blues comes from 1901, when an archaeologist in Mississippi described the songs of black workers which had lyrical themes and technical elements in common with the blues.

  • On sait peu de choses des origines exactes de la musique que l'on désigne aujourd'hui comme le blues. Il est difficile de dater précisément les origines du blues, en grande partie parce que ce style de musique a évolué sur une longue période et existait avant même que l'on utilise le terme « blues ». Une référence importante à ce qui se rapproche étroitement du blues date de 1901, lorsqu'un archéologue du Mississippi a décrit les chansons des ouvriers et esclaves noirs dont les chants reposaient sur des thèmes et des éléments techniques caractéristiques du blues.
