During the 1950s, blues transformed into an urban, electric genre, captivating a wide audience. This style laid the groundwork for early rock'n'roll pioneers like Elvis Presley, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry, and significantly influenced the rock music of the 1960s and 70s, particularly through its reception in Europe. While this blues evolution occurred in industrial cities across the northern US, Chicago was its undeniable heartland.
This event in Rubí aims to recreate the atmosphere and conditions that fostered the emergence of what is known as Chicago Blues. It will also delve into the lives and music of some of its most prominent artists, offering a comprehensive look at this pivotal era in music history.
“"The transformation of blues took place in the industrial cities of the northern US, but fundamentally in Chicago."
The event is scheduled for Friday, August 29th, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, at the Protestant Church of Rubí, located at Carrer Colon, 6. Admission is free.
