Their debut album Pasto was recorded and released in 1992 and has guest appearances by Gustavo Cerati, Daniel Melero and members of other groups which, at the time, were also part of the New Argentinian Rock (or Sonic rock) movement, such as Martes Menta and Juana la Loca. The only single released from Pasto was "D-Generación", which was a minor radio hit at the time and made the upcoming band known to Argentinian listeners. The album has an eclectic style, with many of the tracks being short skits (such as "41" de Ocio", which consists of the band chatting between songs; or "Mutha Fucka", a track which seems to have been made by cutting and pasting together various audio samples taken from TV).
For their second album Trance Zomba, released in 1994, DJ Peggyn joined the band. As a a consequence of the band having now 6 members, this album has a mixture of Rap, Funk and Hardcore Punk, but at the same time even psychedelic rock influences. "Malón", "Montañas de Agua", "Patinador Sagrado" and "Koyote" were the singles released for this album.
In 1996 the band released the highly experimental Dopádromo. This album has all sorts of music from the highly psychedelic "Zumba" and "Su Majestad", hard rock tracks as "El Medium and "Su Ciervo", instrumentals and even a hasta un bossa nova: "Perfume Casino". Destacan también "¡Viva Satana!" and "El Médium" were the biggest hist from this record.
Their fourth album, Babasónica showcased a heavier edge than their previous three, being influenced by heavy metal with distorted riffs and guitar solos on many songs ("Egocripta", "Demonomanía", "El Adversario"). On the other hand, the album has a softer acoustic side, with the delicate ballads "Sharon Tate" and "Esther Narcótica". The band has declared that this was meant to balance out the roughness of the heavier songs. Some tracks even include both stylistic approaches at once making for interesting contrast, like "Parafinada" or "Convoy". Lyrically, the album deals with the concepts of satanism. The band has declared that this approach isn't meant to be taken at face value, but as homage to classic metal, and as an attack on common Western ways of thinking, such as religion.
On their fifth release Miami, DJ Peggyn participated as a member of the band for the last time, he was sacked as his contributions were no longer felt necessary for the band. In 2000 he went for a solo career, renaming himself Jimmy Dolor. The album cover was designed by Alejandro Ros. It is a map of Argentina turned 90 degrees clockwise, resembling a map of the east coast of the United States; the map places a fictional Miami in the Argentinian province of Misiones. After the release of the album, Cosme, their manager, left the band.
After the release of Jessico (2001), Babasónicos shifted into a more pop-influenced sound and reached massive mainstream success, becoming one of Latin America's top bands.
Their follow up records, Infame (2003), Anoche (2005) , Mucho (2008), A Propósito (2011), Romantisismico (2014) and Discutible (2018), further expended this sound and merged it with their early psychedelic and experimental influences.
In 1999 they collaborated with alternative rock artist Ian Brown on a track for his second studio album, Golden Greats, that bears their name.
In early 2008, the official site informed that after a long and painful struggle with Hodgkins lymphoma, bass player Gabriel "Gabo" Mannelli passed away on January the 12th. He was 38 years old.
Since then, Babasónicos teamed up with long-time-friend Carca to temporarily replace Gabo, until late 2011 when Tuta Torres (ex-bassist from Los Látigos) joined the group as their new official bass player, with Carca now serving as a multi-instrumentalist.
Puesto
Babasónicos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
yo tan puesto vos tan apuesta
que sofisticado fue invitarte a coquetear,
yo tan lento, vos tan regia, sos hermosa, sos hermosa
Que barbaridad haber tenido que esperar
para vernos de tan cerca
desnudemonos y no digamos nada mas,
y el mundo sonrie conmigo
Todo lo que pueda arreglar hoy lo dejare para mañana
que casualidad fue encontrarte aca
yo tan puesto vos tan apuesta
Que atrevido fui al iniciarte en la verdad
yo radiante vos tan dispuesta
soy hermoso, (x4)
y el mundo sonrie conmigo
todo lo que pueda arreglar hoy lo dejare para mañana.
The lyrics of Babasónicos's song "Puesto" are rich with sexual innuendos and metaphors that are open to various interpretations. The song describes a chance encounter between the singer and someone they find attractive in a setting where alcohol is involved ("yo tan puesto"). The lyrics suggest that the singer is mesmerized by the object of their affection ("vos tan apuesta") but also feels a sense of inadequacy and slowness in comparison.
The singer is portraying the encounter as sophisticated and strategic by describing their action of "inviting" the person to flirt, although the underlying theme seems to be the singer's insecurity and need for validation. As the song progresses, the two characters eventually become physically intimate, and the singer describes the sexual experience as a moment of transcendence ("el mundo sonrie conmigo").
The final line of the song ("todo lo que pueda arreglar hoy lo dejare para manana") suggests a sense of carelessness or abandonment of responsibilities, further emphasizing the idea that this sexual encounter is the central focus of the singer's narrative, and that everything else can wait.
Overall, the lyrics of "Puesto" are an exploration of sexual desire, power dynamics, and the anxiety of finding validation in the eyes of another person. The singer's tone throughout the song suggests a sense of vulnerability and self-doubt, which is juxtaposed against the description of the sexual encounter as a moment of triumph and liberation.

Que buen tema
No soy muy seguidor de este grupo, pero la verdad que tiene algo muy fino y sensual
Pareciera q le esta cantando a una escena, a un momento
Cuando dice Soy hermoso , soy hermosooo jajajaja
Me gusta porque la primera vez que uno la escucha, le parece muy loco enalteserce asi
Pero despues uno se sa cue mnta que no es el , es como se ve el pero junto a ella
UN CAPO
