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 ↴
Con bolas de fraile salgo a cazar
Mucha grasa de chancho
Corre en mis venas, energia bestial
A pesar de que quieras
Lavar tu perfume original
Tengo olfato sensible
Te descubriré
Te encontraré
Te seduciré
Te empotraré
Mis redes perfectas
Invisibles te van a atrapar
Y un tejido de baba
Crosta ácida, te encapullará
Palabras anzuelo
Atraerán tu parecer
Lo más grosero para esta noche
Es no poder coger
Te irritaré
Te socavaré
Te babosearé
Te atormentaré
Y no tengo la culpa de
Que todavía pienses que el amor
Lleva trámites absurdos
De frívola seducción
El romanticismo
Es la misma flor con la que te velarán
Querés que siga hablando
O sacate la ropa ¡ya
Que te oleré
Te chuparé
Te lameré
Y te comeré
Y el rebaño de gente
Que todavía piensa como vos
No merece la más mínima consideración.
Y no tengo asco a lamer
Tu repugnante moral
Nadie hasta ahora estuvo tan cerca
De hacerte el amor
Coger no es amor, ¡es mucho mejor
Coger no es amor, ¡es mucho mejor
Coger no es amor, ¡es mucho mejor
Coger no es amor, ¡es mucho mejor
Mucho mejor, mucho mejor
Mucho mejor, pero, ¡mucho mejor
Mucho mejor, mucho mejor
Mucho mejor, coger es, ¡mucho mejor
The lyrics of the song "Coger No Es Amor" by Bersuit Vergarabat depict a deeply disturbing and problematic scenario of sexual harassment and assault. The singer is portrayed as an aggressive hunter, who is out to catch and consume his prey, which in this case is a woman. The language used is crude and vulgar, and the imagery is violent and degrading. The woman is objectified and reduced to a mere object of pleasure, and the singer exerts his power over her in a twisted and sadistic manner.
The chorus of the song asserts that "Coger No Es Amor," which translates to "Sex is Not Love," implying that the singer is aware that his actions are not driven by love or affection, but by his own primal desires. However, he justifies his behavior by claiming that it is "much better" than love, which is portrayed as something frivolous and unimportant.
The song is a critique of the toxic masculinity and patriarchy that underpins our society, where men are conditioned to view women as sexual objects, and where rape culture is normalized. The lyrics are meant to shock and unsettle the listener, and to draw attention to the pervasive problem of sexual violence that exists in our world.
