This song is for all my listeners in Uruguay/Argentina who have been requesting it for years! ♥️
NOTE: This video was instantly demonetized by YT (meaning I earn nothing), because they believe I used Los Shakers' original recording in this video. I didn't. This is what kills creativity on KZbin! Stop this algorithm junk. It's not like I have a professional recording studio here... 🙄
“Never Never” (aka “Nunca Nunca”), despite being short in length, is actually extremely dense and creative. At first glance, it has all the typical “Shakers” stuff - dual unison (Hugo/Osvaldo) vocals that are way too high for a main melody, and falsetto bits that come out of nowhere. But it also has some VERY creative chords and an extremely specific arrangement that creates a distinctive bossa nova feel on the whole track.
It would take too long to say everything creative Los Shakers did with this regular album number, so here’s a quick list:
-Hugo’s solo was definitely an excuse to show off his guitar chops and is super cool
-Hugo’s guitar is syncopated and very bossa nova - the rhythm and staccato are very important here
-Osvaldo’s rhythm fills out Hugo’s part and plays the same chords in open positions
-Pelin’s bass is extremely important and emphasizes descending chords, sometimes playing non-root notes
-Caio’s drums are primarily side stick, and the majority of the percussion comes from shakers (throughout the whole track!) and tambourine at specific moments
-The band ambitiously includes a 3-part D-Dmaj7 vocal harmony during the “doot doot doo” parts which is not easy to do (it’s a bit rough on the record)
-Some unusual chord changes are completely disguised due to Hugo’s high-register guitar riffs (like the E to E minor transition in the bridge)
