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 ↴
sírveme otro chupito más,
mi pico seco lo necesita.
Oye Oscar
como un animal,
hoy quiero pegar vueltas carnero para atrás.
Tu mula, la mula plateada ,
Mula la mula plateada me pateo la nuca,
Y yo la quiero amar.
Oye Oscar,
amo a tu mujer,
quedate tranquilo siempre será fiel,
Oye Oscar!!!!!!!!!
hoy yo me quedo acá,
aunque más allí me desprecian.
Tu mula, la mula plateada...
Mulita plateada estas clausurada,
y esta todo mal mula
mulita plateada,
esta coherencia no la aguanto mas.
Golpeo, cortinas pesadas y hay chinos azules, a mi alrededor...
Oiga señor marihuana, yo no fumo policías!!!!!!!
Cortinas azules y hay chinos pesados, a mi alrededor...
Oiga señor policia, yo no fui!!!!!!!
The song "Yo No Fui" by Bersuit Vergarabat is a mix of humorous and absurd lyrics that talk about the singer's desire to drink more, his love for Oscar's wife, and bizarre incidents involving a silver mule. The first stanza starts with the singer, who asks Oscar for another drink, claiming his beak is dry and needs more liquor. He then asks Oscar to play the song "Animal" so that he can act like a ram, turning around in circles till he falls back.
In the following stanza, the singer talks about Oscar's silver mule, claiming that the mule has fallen for his drink and kicked him in the back of the neck. Although the singer is hurt, he says he still loves the mule. The song's absurdity reaches its peak when the singer tells Oscar about his love for Oscar's wife and assures him that she will always be faithful. The singer then says he will stay despite being despised elsewhere.
In the third stanza, the singer continues talking about Oscar's silver mule, but this time, he mentions that the mule is trapped ('clausurada') and that everything seems to be wrong with the mule. He also says he can't stand the coherence anymore. The last two lines of the stanza talk about the singer being surrounded by heavy curtains and blue Chinese people.
The song ends with the singer denying any involvement in a crime, telling the police he is innocent.

Al día siguiente del bardo aberrante el psicópata no recuerda absolutamente nada. Pero que temazo, de qué cabeza sale un disco como ese, tremenda banda eran.

No le caigan al pelado, el poeta sigue intacto, su mugre se modificó, no tenemos más 20 años, los que vivimos parte de los 80 y los 90 a full, y ahora con algunas canas y esposa e hijos nos reconocemos tan pero tan distintos de ese reviente genuino que vivimos, entendemos y nos identificamos mucho con lo que dice ahora el pela. La Bersuit de aquellos años, Viejo Correo, el secundario, muchos recuerdos para agradecerle, momentos hermosos, pero después de los grandes estadios, ya no era Bersuit.
