Since their beginning in April 2001, Mombojó has been collecting important experiences for the actual work of the band. In 2002 Mombojó was in one of the most important festivals in Brazil, and received great reviews from the press for their concert in the 10th Abril Pro Rock.
In 2003, the band was benefited by Pernambuco's government to record their first Album: Nadadenovo. Recorded and mixed in Recife by Igor Medeiros and Mad Mud (Leo D & William P), and mastered in São Paulo (Classic Master), the album soon got public and media attention. Nadadenovo has fifteen tracks with many local folk influences, local instruments and electronic samples.
On July 6th, 2007 Rafael (aka "O Rafa"), 24 years old, the trombone and flute player, who was always by the side of Marcelo Campello, passed away from a heart attack.

Mombojó Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu não vou mais dormir.
À noite passada, inventei novo prazer
E quando estava a experimentar
Foi a primeira vez,
Primeira vez,
Que eu pude tolerar.
Primeira vez,
Que eu pude tolerar.
Já que eu não engulo pílulas,
Vou tomar vitamina c.
Já que eu não engulo pílulas,
Vou tomar vitamina c.

They have found a new pleasure, and they are eager to explore and experiment with it. This newfound pleasure has brought them a sense of tolerance and acceptance, as reflected in the lines "Foi a primeira vez, Primeira vez, Que eu pude tolerar."
The next set of lines "Já que eu não engulo pílulas, Vou tomar vitamina c" can be interpreted as the singer's decision to take control of their health and wellbeing without the use of medication. They may have tried conventional treatments and found them ineffective, leading them to seek alternative methods like vitamin C supplements. Overall, the song's lyrics are about the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment, and how these can be achieved by stepping out of one's comfort zone and embracing new experiences.
