Answer:The musical form that was transferred is church and work music. West African music brought by slaves to the United States.

Explanation:Blues comes from the music that slaves used to work and that they listened to and sang in the church. In addition to English rhymes, Scottish and Irish ballads narrated and shouted in the countryside by the Aforamericanos.
