Zimbo Trio

The Zimbo Trio is a Brazilian instrumental ensemble established in 1964 in São Paulo, originally comprised by Amilton Godoy (piano), Luís Chaves (bass) and Rubinho Barsotti (drums). The group made numerous tours in Europe and Central and South America in the 1960s, and in the U.S. (Washington, New York, and Los Angeles) and Japan.

In recent times, Luís Chaves was replaced by Itamar Collaço. The trio's discography spans more than 40 albums, often in combination with other celebrated Brazilian performers.
