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 ↴
Este instante de sinceridad
Mi corazon,
Vomita su verdad
Es que hay una guerra entre dos
Por ocupar el mismo lugar
La urgencia
O la soledad
No te dejo encontrar
Tu naturaleza divina,
La urgencia gano esta vez
Dispuesta a penetrarte
Prepotente y altiva
Por la noche la soledad desespera
Por las noches la soledad desespera
Y por la noche la soledad desespera
Por las noches la soledad desespera
Espera por ti,
Espera por el
Espera por mi también
Por aquel
Mis condolencias sujetan su alma a una brutal represion
Esperando apasiguarse
O confía en el paso del tiempo
Como otra solución
Para encontrar la calma
Pero te pone loco en las noches
Rogando entrar
En los confines mas oscuros
Despues te arrodillas
Ante el amor maternal
Suplicando ternura
Por la noche la soledad desespera
Por la noche la soledad desespera
Que por la noche la soledad desespera
Por la noche la soledad desespera
Esperan por ti
Esperan por el
Esperan por mi
Tambien por aquel
Esperan por ti
Por el
Esperan por mi
Tambien por aquel
Y que hace este angelito ahora a las 6 de la mañana
Subido al mastil de este naufragio
Al verse alzando las copas foragidas
Viene un cielo de enfermeras
Para lamer sin asco las heridas
Por la noches la soledad desespera
A ver si viene del cielo
Por la noches la soledad desespera
Una enfermera del amor
In "La Soledad," Bersuit Vergarabat artistically explores the themes of loneliness, honesty, and war within oneself. The artist admits to his vulnerabilities, expressing that there is an internal conflict between the need for urgency and the desire for companionship. He describes the war as a battle between two forces trying to occupy the same space in his heart. The desire for companionship is represented by "la soledad," while the urgency is represented by "la urgencia," which has won this time around. The writer acknowledges that the loneliness was so dark that it stopped him from discovering his divine nature.
Throughout the song, the artist tries to keep his inner conflict hidden, but in this moment of honesty, the songwriter confesses that he is struggling with finding peace within himself. He expresses how the nights, in particular, are weighed with the burden of loneliness. The desire to connect with another becomes too intense, and he finds himself begging for mercy. The artist also recognizes that he is not alone in this struggle, that many others also suffer the same way. There is a feeling of hopelessness that overshadows everything, but he tries to find a glimmer of hope in the chaos. He pleads with "el angelito" to help him find solace, and perhaps, that's all it will take to ease his pain.
