Louisiana Blues

Louisiana Blues is a style of blues music originating in the state of Louisiana. It is often characterized by a combination of slow tempo shuffles, a driving beat, and frequent use of the minor pentatonic scale. It has its roots in the music of the African-American slaves of the 19th century and was further developed in the early 20th century. Its sound is distinctive, with a characteristic swing and a heavy focus on rhythm and groove. Notable artists in this style include Louis Armstrong, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Robert Johnson.
