Conjunto Época de Ouro is one of the most revered and acclaimed instrumental groups in Brazilian music history, particularly distinguished in the genre of Choro, often referred to as "chorinho." This style, which originated in the 19th century, is known for its intricate and upbeat melodies, combining elements of European dance tunes and African rhythms. Conjunto Época de Ouro has been instrumental in the revival and perpetuation of Choro, contributing significantly to the genre's enduring vitality and contemporary relevance in Brazilian culture.

Founded in the late 1960s by the legendary cavaquinho player and composer Jacob do Bandolim, Conjunto Época de Ouro has successfully carried the torch of traditional Brazilian music through changing times, nurturing it with the deference of tradition and the freshness of contemporary interpretation. After Bandolim's death, the group continued under the leadership of various members, ensuring the ensemble’s legacy through recordings and live performances that showcase their impeccable technique and deep emotionality. Their discography, which includes notable releases such as "De Pai Pra Filho," "O Melhor do Chorinho ao Vivo," "Café Brasil II - Edição De Luxo," "Mestres da MPB," and "As Melhores de Uma Época de Ouro," offers a rich journey through the heart of Brazil's musical soul, preserving the effervescence and sophistication of Choro for new generations of listeners.
