Babasónicos is an
Argentine rock band, formed in the early 1990s along with others such as
Peligrosos Gorriones and
Los Brujos. After emerging in the wave of Argentine New Rock bands of the late '80s and early '90s, Babasonicos became one of the banner groups of the "sonic" underground rock movement in Argentina in the late 1990s.
The band name refers partly to
Sai Baba, the Indian guru, and partly to
The Jetsons, whose Spanish version is called
Los Supersónicos.
