Chicago Blues
The harmonica cries what the mouth never dared to say.
Chicago Blues is a style from the Smoke and Midnight family. 90 BPM, Weirdness 26, Style Influence 93.
A weathered electric guitar and a wailing harmonica loose in the Windy City. Chicago blues, the electrified soul of the blues tradition, raw, powerful, and charged with urban grit.

Sample excerpt
Llegué del sur con una maleta y una guitarra, me dijeron que aquí el trabajo pagaba mejor. Pagaba, sí, pero cobraba en invierno, y el invierno de aquí no perdona a nadie.
Y la ciudad me dio todo lo que prometió, menos lo único que no supe pedir. Cambié un sol que no daba de comer por un frío que sí, y todavía lo pienso.
Workshop note — Primera persona, pretérito, migrante. El Chicago blues es el blues rural electrificado: mantén el relato de viaje y suma la ciudad. A 90 BPM la armónica responde cada dos versos, así que déjalos abiertos.
