El padre del ʻbluesʼ

from Oldies

En 2021 se cumplen 110 años del nacimiento de Robert Johnson, el padre del ʻbluesʼ. La vida del músico está ligada a lo sobrenatural: Desde pequeño, fue señalado por sus vecinos por haber sido objeto de un castigo divino. Un pésimo guitarrista, su vida de músico ambulante le llevó a tocar en los cruces de caminos. Según la leyenda, ahí se le apareció el Diablo, quien afinó la guitarra de Johnson a cambio de su alma. Robert Johnson falleció a los 27 años, la edad maldita del rock, con una obra de apenas 30 canciones. No fue hasta años después de su muerte cuando temas como ʻTerraplane Bluesʼ o ʻCrossroadsʼ forjaron el ʻrock & rollʼ tal como lo conocemos hoy, de la mano de discípulos de Johnson, como Keith Richards, Fleetwood Mac y Eric Clapton.
