Their debut album 'Teoria Dinâmica Gastativa' from 2004 have had successful songs such as 'História de Verão', 'Good Trip', and 'Hidropônica', hits among teen audience in Brazil with their pop-punk/hardcore. Their massive appearence on MTV Brazil always peaking the audience led a moment where the band emerged a scene from Rio de Janeiro again, with a lot of gigs sharing the stage with Darvin, Dibob, Ramirez and later all over Brazil with bands like Fresno, NX Zero and others.
Their 2008's second album 'Polisenso' represents a change in the band's perspective, now leaning towards genres like dub and reggae, with the outstanding use of synths by former guitarist Vitor Isensee. Songs like 'Sol ou Chuva', 'Gruvi Quântico', 'Sigo o Som' and 'Cigarras' represents this turning point, mostly in the bands' musicality but in the lyrics too.
In 2011, they released 'Alegria Compartilhada", consolidating the view of music and lyrics the band came to. A very convidative visual identity, now coloured, attached to carnival costumes and very rythmic drumming and percussion. The acceptation of a great part of the public put again the band to a lot of important gigs around Brazil (even that the band never stopped playing big tours). 'Largo dos Leões' became a hit, and 'Alegria Compartilhada', 'Cosmic Jesus' with the great participation of Black Alien, 'Quem Vai, Vai' brought a lot of success to this album.
In 2013, with almost the lights off, they release the EP Solto, with 3 songs, including a featuring with Hélio Bentes from the reggae band Ponto de Equilíbrio in 'Malícia'.
The next year, Forfun releases 'Nu', an album with less colours than its predecessor. Although it continues with the bands' influences from Polisenso and Alegria Compartilhada, the lyrics and some kind of the arrangements seems more introspective, trying to talk a lot more with the own members of the band, and the listener public to get identified by those. 'Mariá', 'O Baile Não Vai Morrer' (in this, a flirt with funk carioca), 'A Vida Me Chamou' appears as great songs and a beautiful keepwork of the bands' art.
In June 9th, 2015, the band announces the end of their road. 14 years later than the first demo, the band dissolves and each member must keep into another music project, since their allegued "We started to have different ideas. But we love each other too much, Forfun is an entity". The band leaves a great legacy of 5 releases and more than 60 songs that flirts with most of genres in popular music.
Earlier 2016, former Forfun members Vitor Isensee, Nicolas Christ and Danilo Cutrim announced their new project called BRAZA.
Former bass player Rodrigo Costa started his own career and side projects like Carranca and Tivoli.

Forfun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soam os tambores em anúncio à boa nova
Impávido diante do que não se conhecia
Avança no sendeiro o homem forte a cada prova
E quando sofre a alma nessa casa de argila
Num mergulho de olho aberto a mão amiga que conduz
De um cosmonauta que avisou
Cada um carrega a sua cruz
Ah, que maravilha ver
Eu e minha tribo
Tranquilidade, só lazer
Prevalece o amor
O reino vegetal já coloria a ciclovia
Inspirando e exalando a pulsação da massa
E lúcido diante da rica topografia
Sentiu a teia viva entrelaçada pela graça
Amou e foi amado da maneira que podia
E na abóboda celeste além do stratocumulus
O cosmonauta constatou
Cada um carrega a sua cruz
Ah, que maravilha ver
Eu e minha tribo
Tranquilidade, só lazer
Prevalece o amor
Yeah kids, hey kids
Over the lies kids, over the lights kids, in a row, let's rock and roll
Onisciente, o poder inteligente que rege a confusão com harmonia
Basicamente as plantas, os animais e a gente desvendando a alegoria
A boa nova é só alegria, porque de tudo em volta consciente
Medita meio monge, meio sábio
Presente no tempo presente o espetáculo, ao invés do vazio e do vácuo
Ninguém é dono da verdade, mas pode ter sua posse
Ciente da verdade eu faço o que eu posso
Meus camaradas, Black Alien eu cheguei agora
Com a velha sensação de que nunca fui embora
Entre a escuridão e a aurora
In the dark time waits, but it waits for nobody
But keeps with the flow of your soul and go
Over the lights kids, isso é só rock and roll
A fauna, a flora e a gente aflora a sensação urgente
De forma plena vive como pode e como não, mas que pena
Mas se vale a pena, ele o próprio criador então
Cada um carrega a sua cruz à la cosmic Jesus
Krishna, buda ou alá as he sees us
In the sea just us, go Darwin, I'm always drifting when I'm driving
Uplift no surprising, the sun is rising, sun is shining, I'm alive in universal
This lines I write overseen by him
Information by creation from the places I've been
Porque são várias as cruzes, mas é só um amor, que lança a sua luz
Morre na fila do sus o tal do cósmico Jesus
Motosserras abrem clareira, tribo cercada pelo garimpo
Extração ilegal de madeira, 'tá limpo!
Um benefício à beira do precipício
Atitude na latitude, entre games e bolas de gude
Sabe desde o início: Alma, espírito, corpo, mente
Sua jornada diligente faz valer o sacrifício
É isso
The lyrics to Forfun's song "Cosmic Jesus" explore themes of spirituality, self-discovery, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. It begins by highlighting the advancements of science and the curiosity of humanity, emphasizing the resilience and strength of individuals as they navigate the unknown. The lyrics suggest that in times of soul-suffering, there is a guiding hand of a friendly cosmonaut who reminds us that everyone carries their own burdens or struggles.
The song then delves into the beauty of nature and the harmony it brings to the world. It describes how plants, animals, and humans are all connected and play a role in the grand scheme of things. Love and connection are portrayed as the prevailing forces, bringing tranquility, joy, and a sense of leisure to life.
As the song progresses, it acknowledges the power and intelligence that governs the chaos of existence. It emphasizes the need to understand the allegory of life and find joy in everything that surrounds us. The lyrics reject the idea of owning absolute truths but encourage individuals to be aware and mindful of their own truths. The song concludes with the recognition of the many crosses or burdens that we carry, but reminds us that it is all illuminated by the light of love, reminiscent of a cosmic Jesus figure who sees humanity in the context of the universe.
Overall, "Cosmic Jesus" is a reflective and contemplative song that explores spiritual and philosophical concepts, urging listeners to find purpose, unity, and love in their lives.

Jéssica Macedo
Eu sinto muita falta dessa vibe maravilhosa, eu vivo uma nostalgia maravilhosa ouvindo isso. Eu amo forfun.
Roberto Costa
Cresci com esses ouvindo caras. Hoje mostrei esse música para meu filho com um nostalgia absurda dentro do carro. Com uma saudade inexplicável desse tempo. No final quando a letra diz sua jornada diligente fez valer o sacrifício eu chorei. Porque só o que importa é o amor. E o Cosmonauta Jesus sempre esteve certo. Forfun forever... 😭
