This city is located just near Lake Michigan, which is known for being one of the 5 Great Lakes. In the early 1700s, it was founded by Jean Baptiste Point du Sable. At that time, this city was founded to make a canal that will connect the Great Lakes to Mississippi River. It then grew into food, crops, and fur trading center.Precisely, on March 4, 1837, it was incorporated as a city. Although there was the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, this city has been growing faster and faster year after year instead since that time.Now, Chicago becomes an international hub for finance, commerce, industry, telecommunications, and transportation. You can find the world’s second busiest airport by the name O’Hare International Airport there. Chicago is also the place in this world where the first skyscraper was built. That skyscraper was Home Insurance Building. This city is a great destination to choose for tour or vacation. If you are looking for fun, you will be surely entertained by Chicago’s music.

Blues and Jazz Have you known this? Those forms of blues play an important role in the creation of rock and roll. You see, traditional jazz and blues music were brought by poor black workers from the South in the first half of the 20th century. These music genres were the cause of the creation of Chicago blues and Dixieland jazz. However, they are not the only genres existed in Chicago.Gospel MusicThere are more of them coming after that. In the early 1930s, gospel music became more popular because of Thomas A. Dorsey’s contributions at the Pilgrim Baptist Church. Soul MusicThen, around the middle of the 1960s to the late 1970s, soul music made its existence in Chicago. It is the kind that is still influenced by black gospel music but is somewhat lighter and delicate. Other GenresHow about the other genres then? Of course, heavy rock, punk, and hip-hop also began popular in the 1980s and 1990s. This is the music of Chicago.
