Babasónicos emerged from Lanús, Buenos Aires, in 1991, quickly becoming a cornerstone of the "Nuevo Rock Argentino" (New Argentinian Rock) movement. Led by charismatic frontman Adrián "Dárgelos" Rodríguez, the original lineup featured Diego Tuñón on keyboards, Diego Castellano on drums, Diego Rodríguez on guitar and vocals, Mariano Roger on lead guitar, and Gabriel "Gabo" Manelli on bass.

The band’s 1992 debut album, Pasto, established them as innovators within the burgeoning "Sonic rock" scene. The record featured guest appearances by legendary figures such as Gustavo Cerati and Daniel Melero. The single "D-Generación" became a radio hit, introducing the band’s eclectic approach—which included experimental skits and audio sampling—to a wider Argentinian audience.
