The story behind
The song *La del toro* by Bersuit Vergarabat, with its 4 minutes and 6 seconds duration, presents itself as a piece that encapsulates the essence of the Argentine band. What is distinctive about Bersuit Vergarabat, and can be appreciated in songs like this one, is their ability to fuse Rock with a palette of American rhythms, including cumbia, tango, murga, and candombe. This sonic blend, added to lyrics that often point to criticisms of the political and social system, gave them a very particular identity in the late nineties.
The lineup that consolidated the band's sound included figures such as Gustavo Cordera on vocals, Juan Carlos Subirá on keyboards and accordion, Carlos Martín on drums, Oscar Humberto Righi on guitar, Pepe Céspedes on bass, Daniel Suárez on vocals and backing vocals, Alberto Verenzuela on guitar, and Germán "Cóndor" Sbarbatti on vocals, backing vocals, and charango. Although Gustavo Cordera is no longer part of the group, his vocal legacy is unmistakable in songs like *La del toro*. The band became known with a repertoire that included songs such as *El tiempo no para*, *Yo tomo*, *Se viene*, and *Señor Cobranza*, among others, demonstrating the diversity of their proposal.
