Boogie-woogie

Boogie-woogie is a lively and energetic style of jazz music that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily in the African American communities of the United States. Characterized by a fast tempo and a strong, swinging rhythm, it features repetitive bass lines and improvisational melodies often played on the piano. The style laid the groundwork for later genres, including rock and roll. Boogie-woogie is notable for its infectious beat, encouraging dancing and engaging performances, making it a significant part of American musical history.
