Mai ka moʻolelo o nā blues: mai nā mea kanu a hiki i ke keena

ʻO Blues, e like me nā mea āpau i kūleʻa maikaʻi ʻia, he neʻe mele ma lalo o ka honua no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Hiki ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia kēia, no ka mea, ʻaʻole hiki i ka hui keʻokeʻo ke ʻae i ke mele a nā ʻAmelika ʻAmelika e hana ana ma nā mahiko, a ʻo ka hoʻolohe ʻana he mea hilahila iā lākou.

ʻO ia mau mele i manaʻo ʻia he radical a hoʻoulu i ka hana ʻino. Ua nalowale ka hoʻokamani o ke kaiāulu i nā makahiki 20 wale nō o ke kenekulia i hala. ʻO ka moʻolelo o nā blues, e like me nā mea nāna i hana, uaʻikeʻia e kahiʻano maikaʻiʻole a me ke kaumaha. A, e like me ka melancholy, maʻalahi nā blues i ke kiko o ke akamai.

He nui ka poe hana keaka i hana i ka hana kino a hiki i ko lakou make ana; he poe hele wale lakou a he mau hana ano e. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o ka noho ʻana o ka hapa nui o ka poʻe ʻeleʻele ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia iwakālua. Ma waena o kēlā mau mele manuahi i haʻalele i ka hōʻailona ʻoi loa ma ka mōʻaukala o nā blues ʻo Huddy "Leadbelly" Ledbetter a me Blind Lemon Jefferson.

Nā hiʻohiʻona mele a me nā ʻenehana o nā blues

Me ka maʻalahi o ke ʻano o ka poʻe improvisers i hana i kēia neʻe, ʻaʻole paʻakikī nā blues. ʻO kēia mele he ʻano hana e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai nā ʻāpana solo o nā mea kani ʻē aʻe. Ma ka hope, hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i kahi "kamaʻilio": ʻike ʻia nā leo i kekahi i kekahi. ʻIke pinepine ʻia kahi ʻano hana like i nā mele blues - ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā poem e like me ke ʻano o ka "nīnau-pane".

ʻAʻohe mea maʻalahi a impromptu paha ka blues, aia kona manaʻo ponoʻī. ʻO ka pinepine, ʻo ka ʻano haku mele he 12 mau pahu, ʻo ia ka mea i kapa ʻia:

• ʻEhā ana i ka lokahi tonic;
• ʻElua ana ma ka subdominant;
• ʻElua mau kī i ka tonic;
• ʻElua ana ma ka mana;
• ʻElua mau pahu i ka tonic.

ʻO ka mea kani i hoʻohana ʻia no ka hōʻike ʻana i ke ʻano kaumaha o ka blues, ʻo ia ka guitar acoustic. Ma keʻano maʻamau, i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka hui pū me nā pahu a me nā kī. ʻO kēia ke kani e kamaʻāina nei i nā pepeiao o ko kākou poʻe o kēia wā.

E hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole i keakea ʻia nā limahana ʻApelika-ʻAmelika i kekahi manawa e ka nele o nā mea kani (nā kūlana kanu), a hīmeni ʻia nā blues. Ma kahi o ka pāʻani, aia wale nā ​​leo hoʻōho, e like me nā mea i hana ʻia e nā limahana ma ke kahua.

Blues i ke ao hou

Ua hōʻea ka mōʻaukala o nā blues i kona apogee i ka waena o ke kenekulia iwakālua, i ka wā e kali nei kahi honua luhi i kahi mea hou a ʻokoʻa. ʻO ia ka manawa i komo ai ʻo ia i loko o ke keʻena hoʻopaʻa leo. He mana koʻikoʻi ka blues i nā ʻano pop nui o nā makahiki 70: rock and roll, metal, jazz, reggae a me pop.

Akā ma mua, ua mahalo ʻia nā blues e nā haku haku kula i kākau i nā mele kahiko. No ka laʻana, hiki ke lohe ʻia nā leo o ka blues ma ka concerto piano a Maurice Ravel, a ua kapa ʻo George Gershwin i kekahi o kāna mau hana no ka piano a me ka orchestra "Rhapsody in Blue."

Ua ola nā blues a hiki i kēia lā ma ke ʻano he ʻano hoʻololi ʻole, kūpono a kūpono hoʻi. Eia nō naʻe, pili pono ia a he nui nā mea hahai. Ke lawe mau nei ia i ka ukana uhane koʻikoʻi: ma nā memo o nā haku mele hou loa hiki ke lohe i ke kaumaha o ka hopena a me ke kaumaha pau ʻole, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole maopopo ka ʻōlelo o nā mele. ʻO ia ka mea kupaianaha e pili ana i nā mele blues – ke kamaʻilio pū me ka mea hoʻolohe.
