History
We All Together, a Peruvian band active in the early 1970s, stood out as a notable exponent of Beatlesque pop and rock, despite remaining largely unknown outside a dedicated fanbase. Led by vocalist and primary songwriter Carlos Guerrero, who had previously been a member of the Peruvian rock band Laghonia alongside other bandmates, We All Together released two albums sung entirely in English during the first half of the decade.
Musical Style and Influences
Their music drew heavily from the lighter aspects of late 1960s Beatles compositions. This influence was particularly evident in their sophisticated vocal harmonies, melodic song structures, and intricate arrangements that gracefully blended keyboards, acoustic guitars, and electric guitars. While the impact of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison is discernible in their work, We All Together leaned more towards McCartney's accessible melodicism. This affinity was so strong that they even covered lesser-known early solo tracks by McCartney.
Evolution and Legacy
On their second album, the band incorporated elements of British progressive rock riffs, though the overarching Beatles-inspired sound remained dominant. Alongside Badfinger, We All Together may be considered one of the finest bands of their era to consistently embrace and execute a distinctly Beatlesque musical style.
