After 2 albums of underground transgressive rock, the band started mixing it with Latin American rhythms such a cumbia, chacarera, candombe and cuartetazo. The lyrics, though, remained acid and critical of political and social problems.
The current line-up is: Gustavo Cordera (voice), Juan Subirá (keyboards and voice), Carlos Martín (drums), Oscar Righi (guitar), "Pepe" Céspedes (bass guitar and voice), Daniel Suárez (voice), Alberto Verenzuela (guitar), and "Cóndor" Sbarbatti (voice and charango); previous members include Charly Bianco (guitar and voice) and Rubén Sadrinas (voice).
Honoring the psychiatric hospital José Tiburcio Borda in Buenos Aires, La Bersuit performs dressed in characteristic pajamas; even though the story of Cordera spending some time in that institution is a mere urban legend, the band has an affinity with everything related to madness and marginalization.
Besides the big success, first in the Buenos Aires' underground movement and then in all the country, Bersuit Vergarabat harvested fans from many countries in South America as well as in Spain.

Bersuit Vergarabat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Él por lo visto se fue
Macaya está muy sacado
¿Qué podemos hacer?
El campeonato perdido
Que tremendo dolor
Acá son todos de Ferro
Me voy, me voy
Ausencia de estribillo
Acá son todos de Ferro
Me voy, me voy
Que asquerosa alegría
Él por lo visto se fue
Macaya está muy sacado
¿Qué podemos hacer?
El campeonato perdido
Que tremendo dolor
Acá son todos…
Me voy, me voy
Ausencia de estribillo
Acá son todos…
Me voy, me voy
The lyrics to Bersuit Vergarabat's song "Ausencia de estribillo" speak to the feelings of disappointment and loss that follow a championship defeat in sports. The first stanza begins with the singer expressing disgust towards the joy of others who are celebrating the departure of someone (presumably a member of the opposing team). Macaya, the second person mentioned, is also presumably a supporter of the victorious team who is "very excited" about the win. The singer asks what they (likely referring to the collective group of Ferro supporters) can do in response to their own team's loss. The second stanza repeats the sentiment of disappointment, noting the tremendous pain felt by the singer and others involved with the Ferro team. The final lines express a desire to leave, perhaps to avoid being around those who are celebrating the win.
Overall, the song captures the emotional impact of a loss in a high-stakes game, including the disgust towards rival supporters, the pain of defeat, and the desire to simply remove oneself from the situation. The repetition of the phrase "Ausencia de estribillo" in the song title and throughout the lyrics can be interpreted as a way of emphasizing the lack of a traditional chorus or refrain, further emphasizing the disjointed and chaotic feelings surrounding the loss.
