The trio consisted of Mancilha (Roberto Mancilha Torres) on piano, Carioca (Everson Augusto da Silveira) on double bass, and Faud (Faud Salomão Sobrinho) on drums.

The repertoire of the album "Embalo Trio" featured a rich selection of Brazilian compositions, including "Canção da terra" by Edu Lobo and Ruy Guerra, "Diz" by Walter Santos and Tereza Souza, and "Chuva" by Durval Ferreira and Pedro Camargo. The record also included the song "Nordeste", composed by the trio members themselves: Everson Silveira, Faud Salomão, and Roberto Torres, demonstrating the group's versatility and talent.
