A type of African-American popular music that was popular from the 1940s to the 1960s. It is also called R&B for short. At its core, it is a type of music that combines electric instruments with blues to emphasize the beat and incorporates elements of jazz and gospel songs, but it is a fairly broad term that also includes small choruses with a lighter beat called doo-wop and sweet love ballads by solo singers. In the 1960s, it was succeeded by more sophisticated soul music, and the term fell out of use. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
アメリカ黒人のポピュラー音楽で,1940年代から60年ころまで行われた。略してR & Bともいう。中心となるのは,ブルースに電気楽器を導入してビートを強調し,ジャズとゴスペル・ソングの要素を取り入れたものであるが,ドゥー・ワップdoo‐wopと呼ばれる軽いビートをもつ小編成コーラスや,ソロ歌手による甘いラブ・バラードなども含む,かなり広がりのある言葉。60年代,さらに洗練されたソウル・ミュージックに引き継がれ,この言葉は使われなくなった。
