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 ↴
y llegará la paz
Me cortaré los huevos
y llegará la paz
Yo sé que están preocupados
Por mi existencia voraz
¿Me prefieren introvertido
O algo menos destructivo?
Haciendo muecas en el fondo del mar
Entretenidas morisquetas
Inofensivo y gestual
Me cortaré los huevos
y llegará la paz
Me cortaré los huevos
y llegará la paz
No haré malvados negocios, no
Para arrancarle todo a los demás
Ni intentaré ser tan brillante
Con mis canciones agradar
y ya no haré más la guerra
Con palabras que son balas de pene
Que disparan leche amarga que mata
Cuando no hay sexo hay muerte
y es también para ti mi amor
Estarás al menos tranquila y en paz
Tendrás tu merecido descanso
De mi energía fatal
Habrá un silencio verdadero
No mas proezas por librar
y finalmente serás libre de mi
Sí, de mi
Me cortaré los huevos
y llegará la paz
Me cortaré los huevos
y llegará la paz
Me cortaré los huevos
y llegará la paz
Me cortaré los huevos
y reinará la paz, la paz
Basta, basta, basta
Basta te dije.
The lyrics to Bersuit Vergarabat's song "Y Llegara La Paz" are about the singer's own realization that their existence has been too destructive and they need to make a sacrificial gesture to achieve peace. The singer seems to have caused harm to others through their actions, and they regret their behavior. The repeated line "Me cortaré los huevos" (I'll cut off my balls) is a metaphor for emasculation or self-castration, a dramatic action that would cause physical harm to the singer but would ultimately lead to peace. The singer is willing to take this extreme step to ensure that their loved one can live in peace without being affected by their destructive energy.
The song seems to be about the singer's toxic masculinity and how they are willing to sacrifice their own masculinity to achieve peace. In the lines "Ni intentaré ser tan brillante / Con mis canciones agradar" (I won't try to be so brilliant / To please with my songs), the singer acknowledges that they have used their artistic talent to manipulate others and cause harm. They have also used language as a weapon, using words that are "balas de pene" (penis bullets) to attack others. Through this self-castration, the singer hopes to free their loved one from their harmful influence and achieve a true "silencio verdadero" (true silence).
Overall, "Y Llegara La Paz" is a powerful and thought-provoking song about toxic masculinity, self-sacrifice, and the pursuit of peace. It urges listeners to examine their own behavior and consider the impact they have on others, while also offering the possibility of redemption through self-sacrifice.

Siempre el último tema de cada disco de Bersuit es especial, es como que se van bien arriba.

Mi novia la cantaba cuando tenia 8 años. No sé que más agregar a esto
@Hendrixsdgaf
Hermosa la producción de Santaolalla. Solo él hace sonar bien una fanfarria militar en un tema de la Bersuit
