The early ‘90s saw rock en español trailblazers Bersuit Vergarabat garner acclaim beyond their native Argentina for bringing homegrown Latin American styles like candombe, murga, and cumbia under rock's elastic umbrella. Bersuit brings raw energy and searing political critique to their refreshingly daring lyrics, finding an apex in songs like “Señor Cobranza”. But the transgressive bandmates knew when to let loose and have fun too; their boisterous anthem “Yo Tomo” is a cumbia-punk party-starter about good reasons to drink.
