When Menudo broke out in Brazil, Augusto Liberato, through his Promoart agency, decided to form a nationalized version of the group.
The latter was their first song to break out on the radio, complemented by a video clip released on Globo's program Fantástico.
[1] In 1985, when Dominó was already popular, the group released their first LP on CBS which included, in addition to "Companheiro" and "Ela Não Gosta de Mim", the single "Ainda Sou Você" from that album.
Moreover, it had the special participation of the Turma do Balão Mágico group on the tracks "Chega Mais Um Pouco" and "Fim de Semana".
In 1986, in addition to being a constant presence on TV shows, especially the TVS, Dominó gained a special station at a resort.
This LP brought the hits "Com Todos Menos Comigo," "Bruta Ansiedade" and "As Palavras", with the special participation of Angélica, who at the time was presenter of Clube da Criança and Milk Shake programs in Rede Manchete.
Unlike Dominó, Polegar did not use choreographies but musical instruments, and stood out for being the first youth band launched at a national level, formed by Alan Frank, Alex Gill, Rafael Ilha and Ricardo Costa.
Promoart and Sony Music, which had bought CBS Records, chose to reactivate the quartet, choosing two new members: a boy named Italo Coutinho[2] and the host of the children's program ZYB Bom of the Rede Bandeirantes, Rodrigo Faro.
The single "Sem Compromisso" was the only success of the album, which was sung by Marcelo Rodrigues and had the special participation of his girlfriend at the time, the host of the SBT, Mara Maravilha.
[3] In this same year, Marcelo Rodrigues announced he was leaving the group on the Sabadão program, in which he recalled the old hit "Manequim".
[4] In 1999, this lineup also recorded an album called "Give me love" and a clip of the music Diz Que Sim in Jordan.
In 2001, with the departure of Rodrigo Phavanello, Klaus Hee joined the group and they recorded the album "La bomba".
In February 2008, there was an audition to choose the new members in Rio de Janeiro and Rafael Pires, Vinicius, Thalis and Jojo were chosen to integrate the new lineup.
The group, launched by the SBT TV network, was composed of João Paulo Damazio, Leandro Naiss, Rachid Camargo and Thiago Ruffineli.
