Drummer Jenny Bombo with Tere Farfissa started the band which they spent several singers, guitarists and bass players, until Suzy Vox (vocals), Jessy Bulbo (bass) and Ali Gua Gua (guitar) came.

Fui a la tienda con un casco de Sol
pero ellos no tenían de esa

tenían la Victoria
Tenían la Corona

Todas menos Sol

CASCO!

CASCO!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Las Ultrasónicas's song "Casco" narrates a story in which the singer goes to the store looking for a "casco de Sol" (Sun helmet) but they can't find it. Instead, the store has other brands of helmets like "Victoria," "Corona," and "Bohemia." The repeated refrain "CASCO!" emphasizes the singer's frustration and emphasizes their desire for a specific brand of helmet.

The song is a critique of consumerism and the lack of options available in the market. It highlights how often consumers are limited in their choices, with certain brands occupying a monopoly in the market. The lyrics of the song capture the irony of how the singer's desire for a specific brand of helmet is not met while other brands are available.

The song also reflects how consumer preferences can be influenced by advertising and branding. The singer's insistence on finding a "casco de Sol" is a testament to the power of branding and how it can create a sense of loyalty among consumers.
