Blues Music originated in the Deep South of America in the African American communities in the late 19th century. It came from work songs, chants, field hollers, and shouts sung by the African-American slaves. The Blues scale (around which much blues music is based) contains a chromatic passing tone between the 4th and the 5th scale tones. This came from African singing, which has a tone between each half tone of Western music.
