Alfredo Casero (born 1963 in Vicente López, Buenos Aires Province) is a famous Argentine musician, actor and comedian.
Casero began studying acting with Norman Briski in 1987. Soon after he started working in the underground humour scene of Buenos Aires. In 1992 he created, along with other humorists, the delirious comic show De la cabeza ("Out of our minds"), which later continued as Cha Cha Cha in 1995. In parallel with the TV show he started working in his musical project, and also in a radio show.
The cancellation of Cha Cha Cha in 1997 marks the end of an era of famous characters, such as Manhattan Ruiz, Minister of Postal Economy. Delicatessen and Todo x 2 pesos were shows that took much of the former Cha Cha Cha and De la Cabeza, including many actors.
He became quite famous outside of his country in 2002 when he recorded a Japanese song, Shima Uta, entirely in Japanese. It was the first single from his album, Casaerius. The song became a huge hit in Argentina, where it was chosen as the anthem for the national football team to represent the country at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, in South Korea and Japan.
He was featured, along with Japanese rock band The Boom (authors of Shima Uta) and Japanese-Argentine folk singer Claudia Oshiro on the Japanese New Year's Eve television show, Kōhaku Uta Gassen, in its 53rd edition (New Year's Eve, December 2002).
In that same year, in japan, Alfredo recorded a new album called shima-uta, in wich he included 5 all new songs in japanese performed by him.
Included in this new songs, he recorded Hana, wich will become later part of the last's alfredo's album "Hiperfinits firulets", and in the Hana's video, directed by him, you can see a lot of images recorded by him while he was at japan.

The lyrics to Alfredo Casero's song Batman are a mixture of humor, irony, and social critique. The opening lines, "I'm black, I'm black / I'm gord, I'm gord / Soy Batman solari Yrigoyen," play with the idea of identity and how people choose or are labeled according to certain physical characteristics. The mention of "Batman solari Yrigoyen" - a combination of the superhero's name and two former Argentine presidents - could be interpreted as a comment on the cult of personality and political discourse in the country.
The following lines allude to the lack of material possessions and social status of the singer: "I've got no house / I've got no chacra / I've got no chancha / I've got no empanada / I've got no batiscaf / I've got no rastrojer / I've got no flet / I have an only / an agujer in the heart / I've got no rules / I've got no permanent / ay, toque la pava / y estoy demasiado loco." Each item mentioned represents a different aspect of Argentine culture or lifestyle - a casa (house), a chacra (small farm), a chancha (pig), an empanada (a type of food), a batiscaf (a deep-sea submersible), a rastrojer (a person who scours the trash for recyclable materials), a flet (an apartment), an only (a slang term for a single cigarette), rules and permanence (lack of stability), and la pava (a kettle used to make mate, a popular Argentine beverage). By saying that he has none of these things, the singer could be highlighting the notion of poverty and exclusion in Argentine society, or perhaps rejecting materialism and conformism.
Overall, Alfredo Casero's Batman is a humorous and satirical take on societal issues in Argentina, using colloquial language and tongue-in-cheek references to convey a message of non-conformity and self-awareness.
