El blues nació en el profundo sur de EE.UU., pero muy pronto se extendió hacia otros confines. La esencia se puede rastrear en casi toda la música popular, en todos los géneros y subgéneros posibles. Esta novela gráfica, hecha en colaboración entre un experto conocedor de esta música como es Manuel López Poy y un magnífico ilustrador como Pau Marfà nos conduce a los orígenes del blues, ofreciéndonos una imagen global que mezcla su costado más histórico con los protagonistas que forjaron su nacimiento y evolución. Personajes singulares que vendieron su alma al diablo en un cruce de caminos para tocar atormentadas canciones que hablaban de una vida de miserias en los campos de algodón donde muchos de ellos se criaron.
Blues was born in the Deep South of the United States, but it soon spread far beyond. Its essence can be traced through almost all popular music, across countless genres and subgenres. This graphic novel, a collaboration between blues expert Manuel López Poy and the talented illustrator Pau Marfà, takes us back to the roots of the blues, offering a comprehensive view that blends its historical backdrop with the key figures who shaped its birth and evolution. These are singular characters—some said to have sold their souls to the devil at a crossroads—in order to play tormented songs about lives of hardship in the cotton fields where many of them were raised.
