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 ↴
tenemos todo dado para ganar.
Este es un nuevo año y es una nueva oportunidad,
podemos cambiar todo lo que está mal.
Somos la vieja especie que se resiste a la extinción,
pensando siempre que nada se perdió.
Sabemos de mutaciones, supervivencia y revolución,
vamos buscando el modo de estar mejor.
Mejor salí ¿qué vas a hacer? No te quedes en casa!
Porque si no te atrapa la pantalla.
Mejor salí, hay que vivir. No te quedes en casa!
Porque al final tanta quietud te cansa.
Aunque el invierno es largo no seas amargo, salí a buscar
así sera posible tu ideal.
Todos tenemos sueños no tiene dueño la realidad,
con esto no podemos especular.
Hay que ganar la calle y confiar en los otros sin marginar..
Mejor salí ¿qué vas a hacer? No te quedes en casa!
Porque si no te atrapa la pantalla.
Mejor salí, hay que vivir. No te quedes en casa!
Porque al final tanta quietud te cansa.
Mejor salí ¿qué vas a hacer? No te quedes en casa!
Porque si no te atrapa la pantalla.
Mejor salí, hay que vivir. No te quedes en casa!
Porque al final tanta quietud te cansa.
