Review
Babasónicos La Pregunta meaning and English lyrics translated
★ Babasónicos is an Argentine rock band, formed in 1990. They are known for their unique style alternative sounds and composition . During their career, they have mixed their music with other genres like hip hop, techno, pop, and ballads.
★ La Pregunta – “The Question” is a song released in 2018, this song does not sound like a rock song, but more like an alternative pop-electronic rhythm. The song is fantastic and the singing is excellent, one of my favorite songs by Babasónicos, even when is not their usual rhythm. The question is a complicated song in terms of understanding the lyrics, not because they are difficult to read or translate, but because of the meaning of it. the lyrics talk about a show with a curious jury, many people trying to win the show, and people are shown on the verge of madness then, the song starts to make some uncomfortable questions like: “¿Quién esta dispuesto a morir?” – “Who is willing to die?”, “¿Quién va a reclamar?” – “Who is to complain” . Maybe those questions are related to the inhuman competitive environment of TV shows where participants are fighting each other just to win.
★ La Pregunta by Babasónicos is an easy song, but the lyrics are long, you can practice how to make simple questions in Spanish, and how to do rhetoric questions too. I won’t say much more about the song as I want you to hear it. I recommend this song to those looking for that Argentine rock genre that has always been popular thanks to its strange themes.
