The infamous Mississippi Delta is the home of cotton and the Delta Blues – True South. This was the region that almost defined slavery in America in the 19th and early 20th century. Droves of black Africans were taken into the cotton fields for a life of hard labour, and they would sing their hearts out on the fields and in church to ease the pain. The songs had African rhythms, and these musical styles were the foundation of the Blues.
