Formed in 1998, they are from Brasilia, DF, Brazil. Every member brings their own influences to the band, this is made evident in their mix of rock and ska influenced by all sorts of world music: from Brazilian samba and bossa nova to rhythms of lots of other countries. Their live performances are very energetic. It's common at the end of a show for all band members to go down to the middle of the crowd during the performance of their hit Copacabana. Their music is self-intitled, in cuisine terms, "Bulgarian Feijoada" for their variety of influences. In 2016, the band announced that they would take an indefinite hiatus.

Do mesmo ar
Móveis Coloniais de Acaju Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Escute essa canção
Pra você que não entende
O que é paixão
Do meu coração
Quando menos se espera
Se encontra a solução
Oh não... cansei de viver nessa situação
Assim, aquele olhar que não é capaz
De se entregar a alguém
Que pede perdão
E então, o sonho de ter você em minhas mãos
Difícil é ter que agüentar
Ver você passar e não poder respirar
Do mesmo ar
Desculpa essa dor
Como eu te amo
Como te redescubro, amor
The lyrics to Móveis Coloniais de Acaju's song, "Do mesmo ar," speak to the universal experience of unrequited love. The singer is addressing a beautiful girl whom he loves deeply, but who seems unable or unwilling to reciprocate his feelings. He sings to her, imploring her to listen to his feelings and understand what true passion is. Throughout the song, he expresses his frustration and sadness at the situation, admitting that he is tired of living in this state of unfulfilled longing.
The second verse speaks specifically to the pain of being in love with someone who cannot return your affection. The singer describes the agony of watching the object of his desire pass by without being able to breathe the same air as her. He apologizes for causing her pain, and admits that he is constantly rediscovering his love for her.
Overall, "Do mesmo ar" is a poignant and emotional exploration of the joys and sorrows of love, particularly when that love is unreturned. The lyrics capture the universal experience of pining for someone who doesn't feel the same way, and offer comfort to anyone who has ever loved and lost.

Sobre esta música: "Uma canção controversa. Na época que foi composta, a banda tinha dificuldade em colocá-la em shows por ser mais lenta e trazer uma pegada mais rock que ainda não estávamos acostumados. No fim, ela foi tomando forma e acabou ganhando um final apoteótico, que por alguns anos, era visto nos finais de shows da banda. Pra não dizer que somos melosos, ok?"
