Formed between 2002 and 2007, the group began its professional career in 2008. Their performance at the Music Crossroads InterRegional Festival (IRF) in Lilongwe, Malawi,[9] won them a European tour and they recorded their first album, "Kweseka".
Their second album, Rising Tide, was produced by the Ivorian singer Manou Gallo.
In February 2017, Mokoomba released its self-produced third album Luyando on Germany’s OutHere label, a stripped-down, mostly acoustic album that took their sound in a new direction.
