"Pasto" ("Grass") is the debut album by Argentine rock group Babasónicos. It was recorded and released in 1992 and has guest appearances by Gustavo Cerati, Daniel Melero and members of other groups which, at the time, were also part of the "New Argentinian Rock" (or "Sonic rock") movement, such as Martes Menta and Juana la Loca. The first and only single released from "Pasto" was "D-Generación", which was a minor radio hit at the time and made the upcoming band known to Argentinian listeners. The album has an eclectic style, with many of the tracks being short skits (such as "41" de Ocio", which consists of the band chatting between songs; or "Mutha Fucka", a track which seems to have been made by cutting and pasting together various audio samples taken from TV). It also has numerous referencis to cannabis culture, starting with the album name and various track names which refer to botany.
