Other musicians who have contributed to the Orquestra include Berna Ceppas, Rodrigo Bartolo (who plays with Arnaldo Antunes and Duplexx), Pedro Sa (Caetano Veloso’s guitarist), Bidu Cordeiro (who accompanied the Paralamas do Sucesso and Reggae B) and DJ Marlboro who has gained the title of official Orquestra Imperial DJ.
The band released their first and only album Carnaval Só No Ano Que Vem in 2006 on the Brazilian label Som Livre and internationally via Totolo and they appeared alongside Caetano Veloso and other Brazilian musicians at the Tropicalismo festival at the London Barbican in early 2006.
