Editor's note

Babasónicos, Argentina's surreal rock mainstay

A Buenos Aires band that evolved from experimental noise to sharp, danceable rock anthems.

For their shape-shifting energy, start with 'Microdancing' and 'Soy Rock'. They frame the band's move from the margins to the center of Argentine rock.

They carved out a space where rock could feel both introspective and wildly danceable. 'Microdancing' from 2001 became an anthem for solitary movement, and their surreal lyrical style gave even their catchiest songs a strange, personal edge. Working with figures like Iggy Pop never diluted their own distinct sound.

They formed in Lanús in 1991, and early albums like Dopádromo from 1996 blended rock with electronic experiments. By the early 2000s, records like Jessico brought a clearer, more accessible rock focus, with songs like 'Soy Rock' and 'El Loco' turning into staples. Later work on Anoche and A Propósito kept exploring different textures without losing that core.

Archive material and source history

Babasónicos formed in 1991 in Lanús, a suburb of Buenos Aires. Their early work, like the 1996 album Dopádromo, mixed rock with electronic and experimental sounds in a way that didn't immediately find a wide audience. The lineup has been fairly steady, with Adrián Dargelos on vocals, Mariano Roger on guitar, Diego Tuñón on bass, Diego Uma on keyboards, and Diego Rodríguez on drums.

By the early 2000s, they had developed a clearer, more accessible rock sound on albums like Jessico. Songs from that period, such as 'Soy Rock' and 'El Loco,' became staples. They've also worked with artists like Iggy Pop and Jarvis Cocker, though their core identity has remained their own.

Their 2001 song 'Microdancing' became particularly well-known, often described as an anthem for dancing alone. Later albums, including Anoche from 2005 and A Propósito from 2011, continued to explore different textures while maintaining their distinctive lyrical style, which often leans toward the surreal and introspective.
