La Mosca Tsé-Tsé or simply La Mosca (in English: "The Tsetse Fly") is an Argentine rock fusion band, whose music consists of different genres like ska, cumbia, merengue, salsa and pop rock.[1] The group was formed in 1995. Their songs reflect sporadic and eternal love while maintaining some mischief in their lyrics.[2] While the current line-up was consolidated in March 1995, the history of the band goes back to the early 1990s with 'La Reggae & Roll Band', who did covers and some of their own songs in the town of Ramallo.[3]
