Did blues music start in Australia in 2002?

No, Blues Music did not start in Australia in 2002. It originated in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily among African American communities in the Deep South. The genre evolved from spirituals, work songs, and Folk Music, and it has a rich history that predates the 21st century. While Australia has a vibrant blues scene, it is not the birthplace of the genre.
