La conferencia secreta del Toto's Bar is the third studio album by Uruguayan rock band Los Shakers. It was released in December 1968 on the Odeon Pops label.[1] It has been called the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band of Latin America.[2]

Composition[]

According to writer Abril Trigo the album combines "the band's old passions for bossa nova and jazz (what they called calimbo) with popular traditional local genres like tango, candombe, and murga, and includes some powerful arrangements á la John Coltrane and bandoneón solos á la Astor Piazzolla".[3]
