constantly aware of the need of inclusion, the unidos gathered some fame by taking part in several social initiatives during its history.

the group's initial campaigns in the samba celebrations were marked by outstanding performances, earning a championship in 1936, just five years after the group's inception.

the unidos would stay a constant presence in the first group until the end of the 1950s when a series of especially bad results resulted in the organization's demoting to the second division . 

during the 1970s the leadership started to search for newer and younger talents in order to restore the group's reputation.
