R&B (Rhythm and Blues) is a genre of popular music that originated in African American communities in the 1940s. It combines elements of blues, jazz, gospel, and soul music. R&B is characterized by a strong backbeat, soulful vocals, and often a call-and-response between the lead vocalist and the chorus. It is often associated with romantic and sensual lyrics. Common instruments used in R&B include keyboards, drums, bass, and guitar.
