Conjunto Newton Samba-Bossa - Orgao Bossa e Balanco (1966)

Here we go on another lost treasures from the 60's, selected by Caetano Rodrigues. I think nobody can contribute with additional information about this group and this fantastic record. Conjunto Newton Samba Bossa is from a city close to Sao Paulo, Ribeirao Preto. Perhaps they were kings of Ribeirao Preto ballrooms at that time and had the chance to make this album. Actually, they deserve the "king" credit. Let's see what we have here.

This is Conjunto Newton Samba-Bossa - Orgao Bossa e Balanco (1966), for Continental. Conjunto Newton remembers me Os Poligonais from the same Sao Paulo, but without their jazz sophistication. Orgao Bossa e Balanco is a very hard to describe album, take it for a try, it is dancing and performed by awesome musicians that I could not check if they could follow a career as musicians. This is one of the most difficult reviews I had to write at Loronix, so I will let you with Conjunto Newton Samba-Bossa and their first and only album. Tracks include:

Caetano and Zeca, im really amazed how many lost pearls you guys are giving us. I love this kind of "conjunto". Keep them on track. I loved this one, such as the Biriba boys. Thanks.

Será que este Newton seria o Newton Siqueira Campos
O Mesmo Newton que aparece como Nilton Siqueira no LP Samba OK como Cantor
Newton Siqueira Campos Tocava Contra Baixo e depois foi Integrante do Conjunto os Wandecos que acompanhava a Wanderléia na Jovem Guarda
