La Renga is an iconic rock band hailing from Argentina, renowned for their powerful and emotive rock anthems, which have captured the hearts of fans across Latin America and beyond. Formed in the late 1980s in the Mataderos neighborhood of Buenos Aires, the band consists of Gustavo "Chizzo" Nápoli (lead vocals and guitar), Gabriel "Tete" Iglesias (bass), and Jorge "Tanque" Iglesias (drums), with Manuel "Manu" Varela (saxophones, keyboards, and harmonica) joining the group for live performances. La Renga is known for their explosive live shows, characterized by a raw, unfiltered energy that connects deeply with their audience.

Over the years, La Renga has released numerous albums that have solidified their status in the rock genre, featuring hits that blend political and social commentary with deeply personal lyrics. Their music catalog spans several decades, including notable releases such as "Totalmente Poseídos (Banda de Sonido Original de la Película)," "Buena Ruta Hermano," and "Ese Lugar de Ninguna Parte." Notable for their independence, the band has often shunned conventional music industry practices, instead choosing to self-manage and self-produce their albums and concerts. This approach has garnered them a loyal following, making their concerts sell-out events. Their live album "Autódromo de Buenos Aires, 19 de Junio de 2021 (En Vivo)" captures the electrifying atmosphere of their performances, showcasing their unwavering connection to their fans. Through a career spanning more than three decades, La Renga has remained a symbol of resilience and authenticity in the rock scene, continuously evolving while staying true to their roots.
