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 ↴
pero a la hora de elegir no espero tanto
no soy gil, no pretendo a Broke Shield
Pero necesito carne a toda hora
Otra vez "sos un bagrero de verdad"
me zumba en el oido fino
ya es ya, no te escucho mas
Naj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj,
ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj.
Naj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj,
ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj, ñaj.
Y desperte a un noble predador,
que tiene un fulminante apetito
no soy rico, no te puedo comprar
me enamore de unos gigantes angelitos
la milonga me gusta de verdad,
a las 7 am por favor, quereme, quereme!!
cantidad es mejor que calidad,
en el pais de la carne, con carne voy a darme
Valen mas dos gordas que Broke Shield
Traigan dos gordas
Valen mas dos gordas que Broke Shield
Traigan dos gordas
que Valen mas dos gordas que Broke Shield
Traigan dos gordas
Valen mas dos gordas que Broke Shield
Traigan dos gordas
A las dos, a las dos las quiero aca
A las dos, a las dos las quiero aca
A las dos, a las dos las quiero aca
A las dos, a las dos las quiero aca
Y cuanto conocen de mi, me hacen feliz
no quiero mas callarme, no
que grandes que son ellas dos
sudando la milonga del amor
Traigan dos gordas
Traigan dos gordas
Valen mas dos gordas que Broke Shield
Traigan dos gordas

The song "La milonga me gusta de verdad" by Bersuit Vergarabat conveys a quite controversial message. The lyrics talk about the preference for overweight women or "gordas" instead of choosing "Broke Shield", which refers to young women who probably have a better physique but expect too much from a man. The singer declares that he does not expect much, and he needs flesh all the time. He confesses an affinity towards the milonga style, which is a dance that emerged in the Rio de la Plata region of Argentina and Uruguay in the late 19th century. He asks himself why he should listen to someone who calls him a "bagrero de verdad," a slang term that refers to someone who has sex with overweight women. He commands someone to bring him two gordas, since he fell in love with two giant angels, and he claims that quantity is better than quality when it comes to women.
The song raises concerns about the objectification of women and the different beauty standards that exist in society. It also speaks to societal pressures on men to conform to certain types of female beauty standards. However, the song does not take itself too seriously and has received criticism and controversy in Argentina and other countries where the song was played.

Giovanni Cortiglia
Bolero Militar porque hasta creo que 2006 (que salió este disco a las venta) no estaba en alguno de sus discos, osea estaba grabado desde antes pero no se agregó (como casi todos los temas de este disco)
