At first, the band was composed of Mylla Karvalho, Lenne Bandeira and Charles Cill, who together recorded the band’s first CD. Later, Charles leaves the band, opening space for Ricardinho, who entered and recorded 2 CDs and one DVD with the band before exchanging places with Charles again, who now recorded another DVD with the band, alonside two more albums. In 2007, Lenne no longer plays with the band, leaving them without a lead singer. After some search, they picked Simara Pires, who were a forró singer beforehand. Amidst this change, Allan Clistenes also entered the band, completing a total of four vocalists, resulting in the recording of one more album and DVD. In 2008, Mylla left the band and Rose Sales picked her spot, but not for long: she also left in mid 2008.
The band is commonly known for its criativity in its shows: in their first DVD, Mylla Karvalho entered the stage by bungee-jumping; in the second, she enters the stage using an elevator-like apparatus wearing a phoenix costume.
The band is altogether managed by Premier Produções, a brazilian company.

Companhia do Calypso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Companhia do Calypso's song Chá de Simancol are quite straightforward. The phrase "E melhor você tomar chá de si mancol" means "it's better for you to drink Simancol tea." Simancol is a medication commonly used in Brazil to treat symptoms of the common cold, flu, and allergies. The song is essentially giving advice to someone who is feeling unwell and suggesting that they take Simancol tea to help alleviate their symptoms.
However, the song can also be interpreted in a broader sense as a message to take care of oneself and prioritize self-care. The idea of taking medicine as a form of self-care is emphasized throughout the lyrics. The song could be seen as encouraging listeners to prioritize their physical and mental health and to seek out resources that can help them feel better.
Interestingly, Companhia do Calypso's Chá de Simancol has become a popular meme in Brazil. People often use the song to add humor to situations where someone is dealing with an issue or obstacle. For example, if someone is complaining about a headache, another person might jokingly suggest that they "take some Simancol tea" and play the song.
