Ron's 60s Music Video Links: Los Shakers de Uruguay


Above: Los Shakers, Uruguay's answer to the Beatles

Found a great archive of 60s videos over at Ron's Video Links. Lots of great stuff here from the big names of sixties pop like the Kinks, and George Harrison, but also more obscure beat and "theme groups" like the spacemen of "Los Spotnicks". The song and video I liked the best was "Break it All" by Los Shakers.

Hugo Fattoruso (gtr.vo)
Osvaldo Fattoruso (gtr.vo)
Roberto "Pelin" Capobianco (bs.vo)
Carlos "Caio" Vila (drms.vo)

It's a shameless Beatles/Monkees ripoff, but a catchy, fun one.
They also starred in a movie called "Escala Musical"

P.S. If anyone can show me how to prevent firefox from crashing right before I post a link, I'd be grateful.
