La Mississippi is an emblematic Argentine blues band, with a vibrant history stretching over three decades in the music industry. Formed in 1988 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the group initially bonded over their mutual love for the blues and rock and roll, creating a unique sound imbued with the essence of Río de la Plata. Their name, often thought to be a tribute to the Mississippi River — the cradle of the blues in the United States — also carries a more localized meaning, as it references Mississippi Street in Buenos Aires, symbolizing the blend of American blues influences with local Argentine culture.

Throughout their prolific career, La Mississippi has earned widespread recognition in the Latin American music scene, innovating and diversifying the blues genre in Spanish. Their discography boasts an impressive array of studio albums, live recordings, and special releases. Celebrated albums like "Reserva Especial 30 Años (Vivo Luna Park)" commemorate three decades of their musical journey, highlighting the deep connection La Mississippi has forged with their fans through soulful performances and authentic storytelling. Their most recent releases continue to showcase the band's dedication to evolving their sound while staying true to the roots that have defined La Mississippi's enduring legacy in Latin blues rock.
