Ah. The Lomax Collection.
Sorry. I should have said "first recording by Swedish artists".
Anyway. Really nice link you sent. I enjoyed it.

http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/200604/muslim.roots.u.s.blues.htm Blues definitely originates from Africa-- the
pentatonic scale is still
used in the N'Goni and Kora there today
From what I remember in music class is that pentatonic is all over the
world. I wouldn't say that using pentatonic defines blues. But some one
with more insight in musical theory might want to chime in here.
A funny coincident with the pentatonic scale is that yesterday I went
over to the Culture House (Kulturhuset) in Stockholm to listen to the
first record [1] with a blues song in it and it stroke me that it was
very pentatonic except for the trombone solo part with a few blue notes.
It actually was more what I today would call early Swedish jazz and not
the blues scale dominated blues that we often hear today.
