Trio Samba - Samba! Samba! Samba! (1964) with Carlos Piper e Sua Orquestra

The first question you will make after hearing 30 second of the first track of this LP will be: Why they record only this album and disappear? I will do the same just in case if a friend has a answer to it. Why these girls did not follow on recordings? What happened? Another strike of Caetano Rodrigues, a vocal trio and their first and only LP that could easily be positioned such like Quarteto em Cy is today as a female vocal group.

I invite you to try the surprising Trio Samba - Samba! Samba! Samba! (1964), for Philips. I could track this time two members of Trio Samba, Wilma Camargo, a well-known Maestro, arranger and composer, with a solid contribution to Brazilian music and also a successful actress and Triana Romero that could also make her living with music that is retired today making some eventual presentations. The remaining member, Marina Fernanda Gradilone (Polly), could not be searched.

In spite of the wonderful vocal trio, Samba! Samba! Samba! has Carlos Piper e Sua Orquestra with beautiful arrangements. Tracks include:

01 - Doce Amor (Wilma Camargo)
02 - Rio (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
03 - Poeta Popular (Wilma Camargo)
04 - Mas Que Nada (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
05 - Ilhabela (Wilma Camargo)
06 - Por Causa de Você Menina (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
07 - Bolinha de Sabão (Orlann Divo / Adilson Azevedo)
08 - Quase Amor (Wilma Camargo)
09 - Insensatez (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
10 - Samba das Cores (Wilma Camargo)
11 - Ai Seu Eu Pudesse (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
12 - Vagamente (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
