His collaboration with the GRESUnidos de Vila Isabel, began in 1965. Before that, he performed frequently alongside the Aprendizes da Boca do Mato samba school. Since joining Vila Isabel, he has written dozens of songs for the school. He wrote the samba “Kizomba: A Festa da Raça”, which won the Special Group title in 1988.
After a 17-year hiatus, in 2010, Martinho won the sambas enredo contest, providing the school’s theme -Noel Rosa, another composer of Vila Isabel, to celebrate his centenary. Martinho had said that would be his last samba enredo. In 2013, when Martinho turned 75, his son Tonico da Vila took Vila Isabel to the title with the theme “A Vila Canta o Brasil, Celeiro do Mundo. Água no Feijão, que Chegou Mais Um”.
