This article analyzes the blues musical genre from a psychoanalytic perspective, aiming to contribute to the understanding of how music affects the individual's subjectivity and establishes communication with the collective and cultural spheres. A review of psychoanalytic literature was conducted, including the works of Freud and commentators such as Renato Mezan, Tânia Rivera, and Leandro A. T. Tavares, who discuss the relationship between art, music, and psychoanalysis. Additionally, cinematographic productions were selected to understand the historical trajectory of the blues, such as "Devil at the Crossroads" (2019) and "The Blues: A Musical Journey" (2003). The article theorizes how the blues has served as a space for acceptance, resistance, and meaning-making by bringing people and musicians together to sing, dance, and, above all, lament together. The blues emerged in a period of extreme oppression and racism, at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It became a form of resistance and a collective movement that allowed Black people to maintain their cultural identity and heritage. The blues music tells stories of life, historical periods, subjectivity, and society. It also contributed to the emergence of other musical movements, such as jazz, rock/n'roll, ragtime, folk, and bluegrass. The blues is understood as a form of resistance to the daily hardships experienced by the oppressed African population. It allows Black people to express their pain and struggles, and to create music as a way to give meaning to their suffering. The blues provides a space for freedom where Black people can sing about their pain. The blues is a cultural expression of resistance against the traumatic violence of slavery. The lyrics of blues musicians speak about impossible love, the pain of leaving a loved one, or the pain of being deceived by a loved one. These aspects are subtly expressed as a way to record the suffering of persecution, murder, and oppression. The blues also serves as a form of cultural resistance and expression of subjectivity for a population undergoing a process of de-subjectification caused by the violence of slavery. The blues has been a significant cultural movement that has influenced the development of music and art. It has contributed to the understanding of the relationship between music, culture, and psychoanalysis. The blues has also been a form of resistance against the dominant culture and has provided a space for the marginalized to express their experiences and struggles. The blues has been a powerful cultural force that has shaped the lives of Black people in the United States.This article analyzes the blues musical genre from a psychoanalytic perspective, aiming to contribute to the understanding of how music affects the individual's subjectivity and establishes communication with the collective and cultural spheres.
