Los Shakers
HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "imagesize" is not recognized
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.

Soy Hombre
by: AventuraSoy hombre
Tengo la labia, la cordura, más indura
Para regalar placer
Y aunque le suene arrogante
Soy capaz de conquistar cualquier mujer
Pero a veces me siento solo, pido a dios si me enamoro
Que no me mande el castigo de penar por un querer,
Por hablarle mentiritas a tantas señoritas, a vivir con otra y a evadir
Lo que es ser fiel.
Soy hombre, no existe cosa más hermosa, ni una rosa
Comparado a la mujer.
Y muestro a veces mi guitarra preferida, hago música en su piel.
Pelilloso y mentiroso otra veces vanidoso.
Lo que sea necesario por poderlas complacer.
Yo las llevo hasta la luna, las convierto en colección.
A pesar que me hago un daño, lo alimento al corazón.
(CORO)
Si supieran como abunda mi alma en soledad y sin amor.
Que este personaje de don Juan es solamente una atracción.
Mi cama ha sido la testigo de las noches sin prejuicios,
Mucho sexo y poco amor.
Y yo sin colección.
No he visto un hombre que ha podido ser feliz y estar vacio en un mundo artificial.
Al fin sin colección.
(I need a gentleman)
Maestro... Arturo san doval
We nasty…Play boy…Play boy
(CORO)
Mujer
Que rico
