Located along the Mississippi and on the border with the state of the same name, Memphis (Tennessee) is a mandatory stop on the way between Nashville and New Orleans. But Memphis and its street of fun Bale Street, have their own personality, the so-called capital of "soul" also occupies an important place in the history of "blues", "country", rocknroll and "hip-hop".

Nashville, the capital of Tennessee, is commonly known as the “Music City” but also the “Athens of the South” for its educational institutions and neoclassical architecture.Como capital de la Música Country, el centro de la ciudad está plagado de clubs de música y honky-tonk, así como de músicos callejeros y no sólo de música country sino de pop, rock, gospel, bluegrass, jazz, blues y soul. Se toca música en vivo todo el día.

Chicago is the core of a conurbation of nine and a half million people. In 1871 a fire destroyed much of the city. In the 1920s, the Chicago Blues emerged. the Great Migration of African Americans from the South (Mississippi and Louisiana) escaping discrimination and lack of opportunity to the less segregated industrial cities of the North. Although of local origin and arising in a very specific context (that of the cotton fields worked by African-American slaves), blues has had a great influence on current music.
