Boogie

Boogie is a form of blues-influenced music that originated in the late 1920s and early 1930s in the United States. It combines elements of ragtime, country, gospel, jazz, and rhythm and blues and is characterized by a steady, shuffling beat and an infectious, driving rhythm. Its origins can be traced back to the music of African-American slaves, and it was popularized by artists such as Pinetop Smith, Meade Lux Lewis, and John Lee Hooker. Boogie is still popular today and can be heard in a variety of genres, including rock, funk, and hip-hop.
