%%[[caption-width-right:350:The current formation: ]]

Bersuit Vergarabat is an UsefulNotes/{{Argentin|a}}ean festive rock band formed in 1988, originating in Barracas, Buenos Aires. Much like their contemporaries Music/LosAutenticosDecadentes, this group combines rock music with other popular genres such as cumbia, tango, reggae, murga, folklore and candombe. Unlike them, though, they have a more "serious" approach in their music, with lyrical themes about social issues, everyday happenings, and the like. They were even censored several times.

The band was formed when vocalist Gustavo Cordera returned from a trip to UsefulNotes/{{Brazil}} at the tail end of his studies on social communication. He shaved his hair, sold his old agency and abandoned his studies in order to create the band, meeting his future band members (who were already playing as "Los Prehistóricos") at an old house, where they improvised some of their old songs. The initial lineup of the band was conformed by Cordera, guitarist Charly Bianco, bassist Pepe Céspedes, drummer Carlos Martín and keyboardist Juan Subirá. Rhythm guitarist Oscar Righi, backing/alternate vocalist Rubén Sadrinas, keyboardist Raúl Pagano and percussionist Marcela Chediak completed the lineup that recorded the debut album ''...Y punto'', released in 1992.

For the release of 1993's ''Asquerosa Alegr&ia;'', Sadrinas and Pagano departed (leaving Cordera as the only vocalist) and guitarist/vocalist Alberto "Tito" Verenzuela joined the band replacing Bianco. They were also joined by legendary Argentinean producer Gustavo Santaolalla, who was a fundamental figure in their popularity. Several more members came and went until the settling of the lineup that recorded 1998's ''Libertinaje'', their magnum opus, which contains the hits "Yo Tomo", [[ProtestSong "Se Viene"]] and "Señor Cobranza", a CoverVersion of a song by Music/LasManosDeFilippi: Cordera, Céspedes, Martín, Right, Verenzuela and backing/alternate vocalists Daniel Suárez and Germán "Cóndor" Sbarbatti. This lineup is considered their peak years' lineup, playing in tons of big name festivals and gigs and eventually reaching the mythical stadium of River Plate. It also recorded everything between ''Libertinaje'' and 2007's ''?'' (yep, that's the album's name).

CreativeDifferences prevented this lineup to continue, though, with Cordera proposing the band to stop after said album, and later parting ways with the band, with Cordera launching a solo career. [[TheBandMinusTheFace The band without Cordera]] returned in 2011.

Aside of their music, they also contributed and recorded {{Real Song Theme Tune}}s for several argentinean series.
