Bolus: Moptops from Around the World!
Also behind the Iron Curtain, and likely under the close scrutiny of the Stasi: Thomas Natschinski und Seine Gruppe, and "Ich bin in diese Stadt gekommen."
For whatever reason France has not been known as a hotbed of rock combos, but the fuzz-drenched "Vivre Avec Toi" by Les Miserables proves the frogs have it in 'em.
Nobody rocked harder south of the equator than Los Saicos, who growling, Sonics-like sound proved that Peruvian music is much more than just lame new age pan flutes bands in the subway. Here's "Demolicion", which was to South America what "Surfin' Bird" was to the Midwest.
Concluding our South American swing, here are the 'Brazilian Bitles' (no attempt to evade copyright infringement) and "Rei Mau."
Hong Kong's Josephine Siao Loves a go go!
And our tour concludes on the subcontinent, proving that the Beatles influenced India every bit as much as India influenced the Beatles. Yeah yeah Yeah!
Could it be this whiskey sausage influencing me? This heavenly blend of the finest bottom-shelf liquors certainly beguiles the tounge with it's heavenly flavor and lingering crappy-beer aftertaste, but could it also bewitch my ears? No. The magic is most assuredly in the music.
As Gabriel points out, Los Shakers were an uruguayan band; not chilean like Los Vidrios Quebrados.
Also worth checking is Los Mac's and their album "Kaleidoscope Men". Along with "Fictions" from Los Vidrios Quebrados (already mentioned in the post), they may be the best exponents of the chilean beatlemania era.
Dude, come on. There were no gulags in Poland, and Polka isn't even a Polish dance.
On the Brazilian one at 2:23, and the indian one at 2:03 (or so). The gyrating singer is VERY similar.
Correction, I meant at 0:18 on the Indian, and :10 on the Brazilian, sorry folks.
You forget -Les Baronets- from Quebec (Canada), one the singers was Rene Angelil (Celine Dion's husband).
A huge succes in the 60's.
