"Los Shakers: Artist Biography." Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/artist/los-shakers-mn0000360089/biography〕 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.〔Unterberger, Richard. "Los Shakers: Artist Biography." Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/artist/los-shakers-mn0000360089/biography〕 The first single recorded as The Shakers was "Break it All", in 1965.〔Unterberger, Richard. "Los Shakers: Artist Biography." Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/artist/los-shakers-mn0000360089/biography〕 The band's never attempted to break the English speaking market--they focused their attention exclusively on the Latin market.〔Unterberger, Richard. "Los Shakers: Artist Biography." Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/artist/los-shakers-mn0000360089/biography〕 Their first album, ''Break it All,'' released in 1966, was named after the song previously released as a single.〔Unterberger, Richard. "Los Shakers: Artist Biography." Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/artist/los-shakers-mn0000360089/biography〕 Reflecting the move towards psychedelia, their music went in a new direction. On their last studio album with the original line up, ''La Conferencia Secreta del Toto's Bar,'' released in 1968,〔Unterberger, Richard. "Los Shakers: Artist Biography." Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/artist/los-shakers-mn0000360089/biography〕 they mixed psychedelic influences with candombe and some tango sounds. However, their recording label (EMI) did not approve of this new sound, and left them without any promotion or support; it led to the band's split up. In 2005, the original lineup re-united, and recorded a CD ''Bonus Tracks'' and played in Argentina and Uruguay. Los Shakers would break up shortly thereafter. Osvaldo Fattoruso, guitarist and drummer, died on July 29, 2012 due to cancer at the age of 64. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Los Shakers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
