Formed in 2001 by friends Miguel, Gesta, Faucom and Dedeco, they initially began the project just to "amuse themselves"; their name, "Dibob", is a contraction of the Portuguese-language expression "de bobeira", meaning "goofing off". Their debut EP ''Markebra'' was self-released in 2003, after which the critically acclaimed full-length albums ''O Fantástico Mundo Dibob'' (2004)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/folhatee/fm1907200415.htm|title=Tirando onda|work=Folha de S.Paulo|date=July 19, 2004|access-date=August 18, 2020|language=Portuguese}}</ref> and ''A Ópera do Cafajeste'' (2007) followed. For the release of the latter, a huge show at the now-defunct music venue Canecão was organized.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://oglobo.globo.com/cultura/dibob-lanca-opera-do-cafajeste-nesta-sexta-no-canecao-4164541|title=Dibob lança ''A Ópera do Cafajeste'' nesta sexta no Canecão|work=O Globo|author=Lauro Neto|date=August 3, 2007|access-date=August 18, 2020|language=Portuguese|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
In the 2005 edition of the MTV Video Music Brazil award, they performed a cover of Ultraje a Rigor's "Nós Vamos Invadir Sua Praia" alongside Leela, Ramirez and Forfun, with whom they would develop a strong friendship. In 2012 they collaborated on the song "Rio Porque Tô no Rio", described as an ode to Rio de Janeiro.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://oglobo.globo.com/megazine/forfun-dibob-lancam-clipe-rio-porque-to-no-rio-uma-ode-cidade-6705028|title=Forfun e Dibob lançam clipe 'Rio Porque Tô no Rio', uma ode à cidade|work=O Globo|author=Lauro Neto|date=November 12, 2012|access-date=August 14, 2020|language=Portuguese|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
In 2009, vocalist Dedeco left the band, and bassist Gesta took over the lead vocals; as a trio they would release the cover album ''Resgate'' in 2010. Dedeco returned the following year, but they announced they would be ceasing their activities soon after. Following a 4-year hiatus, they confirmed they would return to perform;<ref>{{cite web|url=https://whiplash.net/materias/news_800/228945-dibob.html|title=Rock Talk Brasil: o retorno do Dibob e o fim de Scracho e Forfun|work=Whiplash.net|author=Lucas Silveira Neves|date=August 21, 2015|access-date=August 18, 2020|language=Portuguese}}</ref> in 2020 they played at the Rio Rock Tour festival alongside Strike, Catch Side and Darvin.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://diariodorio.com/rio-rock-tour-retorna-em-abril-com-strike-dibob-catch-side-e-darvin/|title=Rio Rock Tour retorna em abril com Strike, Dibob, Catch Side and Darvin|work=Diário do Rio|author=Raphael Fernandes|date=February 3, 2020|access-date=August 18, 2020|language=Portuguese}}</ref>
