It all started in 2014, in the city of Belo Horizonte, when Pedro Calais decided to post a video of one of his compositions on Facebook; a friend who was the promoter of events at a concert hall saw him and encouraged him to form a band to perform at the venue. Therefore, Calais decided to call his childhood friends Otavio Cardoso, Glauco Borges, Francisco Jardim and Breno Braga. The group started their career performing at this concert hall in the city, playing their own songs, which are credited to all of the band.
In May 2016, the quintet released their debut studio album titled Seja o Que Eu Querer. In February 2018, an acoustic version of the song "Deixa" was released in partnership with singer Ana Gabriela. The song, in this version, became a success, being among the most played in the country, giving visibility to the group to participate in television programs and sign a contract with the Sony record company. In June 2019, they released their second studio album named Things of the Generation.
On September 12, 2020, the band would perform two shows in drive-in format in the city of Nova Lima, Minas Gerais. However, drummer Tio Wilson (Breno Braga) had an indisposition in the interval between the two performances and died from a cardiorespiratory arrest.

Lagum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Ta de brincadeira?
Quanto que é o cafezinho?
Viagem de avião
Com a cabeça mais alta que os impostos no país
Descubro novos ares no estilo 14 Bis
Quem diz que não prefere céu aberto é ilusão
Peguei os meus problemas e despachei na maleta
Mandei sentido norte, eu vou sentido sul
Me deseje sorte e um dia de céu azul, é
Não colapse, Pedro
Curta o ápice, Pedro
Amanhã é outro dia, então vê se vai dormir cedo
Não colapse, Pedro
Curta o ápice, Pedro
Amanhã é outro dia, então vê se vai dormir
Não colapse, Pedro
Curta o ápice, Pedro
Amanhã é outro dia, então vê se vai dormir
Não colapse, Pedro
Curta o ápice, Pedro
Amanhã é outro dia, então vê se vai dormir cedo
The lyrics of Lagum's song Pedro seem to touch on themes of social commentary and self-care. In the first verse, the singer questions the high price of a typical Brazilian snack, the pão de queijo, and compares it to the cost of a cup of coffee. This can be interpreted as a critique of the high cost of living in Brazil and how it can impact even the most basic aspects of daily life. In the second part of the verse, the singer talks about traveling by airplane and seeing the world from a new perspective. They express a sense of freedom and detachment from their problems by "dispatching them in their suitcase" and taking off to explore new horizons. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for how travel can broaden one's perspective and provide mental or emotional relief.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "Não colapse, Pedro/ Curta o ápice, Pedro/ Amanhã é outro dia, então vê se vai dormir cedo" can be interpreted as encouraging the titular Pedro (or the listener) to take care of themselves and not let their problems overwhelm them. The phrase "Não colapse" means "don't collapse" and can be seen as a warning against burnout or mental health issues. The phrase "Curta o ápice" means "enjoy the peak" and can be interpreted as a command to savor the good moments in life whenever they come. The reference to going to bed early in the last line can also be seen as a reminder to prioritize rest and self-care over overworking oneself.
