His records have a particular samba sound that became trademarked as Almir's, frequently with strong use of the banjo, and with Mauro Diniz often being responsible for the cavaquinho.
Some of the most important players and composers of the instrument's Brazilian incarnation are: Waldir Azevedo, Henrique Cazes, Paulinho da Viola, Luciana Rabello, Alceu Maia, Mauro Diniz and Paulinho Soares.
Some others with whom Mauro has recorded (the list would encompass almost every known sambista): Moacyr Luz, Monarco, Jorge Aragão, Wilson Moreira, Luiz Carlos da Vila and the Old Guard of Portela.

Mauro has recorded with all major samba names; his recordings with Almir Guineto are specially known for cavaquinho rhythm virtuosism; not the least, his recordings with Zeca Pagodinho and Beth Carvalho are registered as the foundation for new generations of sambistas.
