The 'official' blues originated in America from African Americans around the time of the late 1920's, (also known as the roaring twenties). The lively upbeat feel of the music contributed and was in symmetry with the feel of the Roaring Twenties.

"Blues started as a derivative of the music of African Americans in the Mississippi Delta and other places in the southern parts of the US, such as New Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis and other major cities where African American culture grew."

Although there is not much information about the blues, one can say that the blues had African roots, as during the 1900s many slaves sang in the rhythmic tune of the blues.
