"The South American Beatles"
Los Shakers were a Uruguay-based band who (after seeing the film A Hard Day's Night) decided to model themselves after The Beatles, right down to their musical style, dress and haircuts. After achieving success in Argentina (as part of a wave of Uruguayan bands to find success there, similar to the Beatles' own "invasion" of America), the group recorded an album for the English-speaking market. Break It All features re-recordings of songs from their first album, which was only released in South America, plus a Spanish version of the Beatles' "Ticket to Ride". The album was considered little more than a curiosity in America and was not a hit, although it later became a collector's item. A CD with bonus tracks was released in 2007.
