Los Shakers were a popular rock band in 1960s and was a part of the Uruguayan Invasion in Latin America. They were heavily influenced by the look and sound of the Beatles. In the late '60s they would broaden and expand their musical direction before breaking up at the end of the decade.
History
The band was formed in 1964 in Montevideo, Uruguay by brothers, Hugo Fattoruso (lead guitar and keyboards) and Osvaldo Fattoruso (rhythm guitar), after watching the movie, A Hard Days Night, by the Beatles. They were modeled after The Beatles and even adopted similar haircuts and clothing, as can be seen in their record cover. The band sang many songs in English, despite their location, and gained their greatest popularity in Argentina.
They signed with the Odeon label of EMI in Argentina. The first single recorded as The Shakers was "Break it All", in 1965, followed by self-titled album later that year. For obvious reasons, the band focused their attentions almost exclusively on Latin America, but did they did take one crack at the English-speaking market when they released the album Break it All, on the US-based Audio Fidelity label in 1966. The record (which featured re-recorded versions of many of the songs on their original LP and even a Spanish-language version of Beatles' "Ticket to Ride") was little more than a curiosity in America and was not a hit, but became a collector's item decades later, as would their second album, Shakers For You (released in 1968). Both albums were re-issued, with bonus tracks, on CD in 2007.

El Sol
by: City LightsThere's every good reason for letting you go
She's sneaky and smoked out
And it's starting to show
I never let you go [x3]
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
You say that I’ve changed
Well maybe I did
But even if I changed
What's wrong with it
I never let you go [x3]
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
And all our friends are gone and gone
And all the time moves on and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong
If there's a reason, it's lost on me
Maybe we’ll be friends, I guess we'll see
I never let you go [x3]
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
It's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
Good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
What a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
What a good idea...
I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads
Nickels and dimes, yours and mine, did you cash in all your dreams
You don't dream for me, no
You don't dream for me, no
But I still feel you pulse like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
The girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
She's like a sunburn
