Today’s video is a solid tune from Argentine rockeros Bersuit Vergarabat called “Sr. Cobranza.” It’s a song we’ve featured before but it is a wonderfully scathing rebuke against Argentina’s political class. Lead vocalist Gustavo Cordera lists his gripes as the song gradually picks up the tempo until he unleashes in a primal scream of contempt against authority. According to one blogger, the song was highly controversial when released in 1998 and Argentine authorities even threatened radio stations that played it with severe fines.
