The Zimbo Trio is a reference group in Brazilian music. In its 43 years of existence, always with the same formation, the group has recorded more than 40 albums throughout the world, receiving several national prizes as Best Instrumental Group (Cidade de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro, Troféu Imprensa, Chico Viola, Medalha de Ouro dos Diários Associados, Roquette Pinto, Euterpe, among others) and international ones as well. The group’s international presentations include the Smithsonian Museum and Tawn Hall, in New York, and U.C.L.A. in Los Angeles, having also toured through Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Denmark, and Japan.

The Zimbo Trio was formed in 1964 by classically trained pianist Amilton Godoy, bassist/composer/orchestrator Luís Chaves, and drummer Rubinho (Rubens Barsotti). They performed for the first time under the name of Zimbo Trio at Oásis nightclub in São Paulo, accompanying the famous actress and novice singer Norma Benguel in a show directed by Aluísio de Oliveira. Soon, the group was awarded the Pinheiro de Ouro prize as Best Instrumental Group at the I Festival do Paraná da MPB. A little later, they recorded their first LP, Zimbo Trio, Vol. 1. In 1965, the trio traveled to Lima, Peru, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the festival of Mar del Plata, Argentina, they received the Cancioneiro das Américas award. In 1966, the trio toured Portugal and Luanda, Angola, appearing at the Cannes International Cinema Festival, Cannes, France. The Zimbo Trio received awards for best soundtrack for the movies Noite Vazia (1965, Walter Hugo Khoury) and A Margem, (1967, Ozualdo Candeias).
