LOS SHAKERS
-CONFERENCIA
-OTRA VEZ
'68/71-60s Uruguayan PSYCH GARAGE
NEW CD
Two LP's on 1 CD. In 1967, Los Shakers begin to write what would be considered their 'Sergeant Pepper's', entitled 'La Conferencia Secreta Del Toto's Bar' (Toto's bar secret conference) and in 1968 they finished the arrangements.
The name of the LP is a satire of the American president's conference that was held in Punta del Este in april 1967, and Toto was the owner of a bar where the Uruguayan musicians met. 'La Conferencia...' is a complex LP and Los Shakers anticipated the fusion of rock with candombe, bossa nova and tango. Subsequently, Hugo and Osvaldo recorded a bossa-jazz LP called 'La Bossa Nova De Hugo Y Osvaldo' (Hugo and Osvaldo's bossa-nova), where all of them play the instruments and put an end to the pending contract with the record company, also considered a "must" by bossa-jazz lovers. In 1971, Caio and Peln attempt to take once again the rock style and record an LP called 'Otra Vez En Estudio' (Once again at the studio), inviting for this project three Uruguayan musicians from the "old times", members of Los Inocentes (The Innocents), the twins Hector and Carlos Capobianco and Ruben Viera. This LP intends to continue the Shakers' melodic line but without the Fattoruso brothers, and it is a different thing, although it presents some compositions with good harmonies and the album is very highly rated by collectors.
