Super Mama Djombo was a band that was formed at a boy scout camp in 1964 in Guinea-Bissau and grew into a national band and ultimately a global phenomenon. They became one of the most popular bands from the West African country, which gained independence from Portuguese colonial rule in 1974. They only had one recording session, in Lisbon January 1980, from which five LPs appeared. "Dissan Na M´Bera" was originally released on the 1980 "Na Cambança" album. Their music, like many emergent sounds of that time in West Africa, was electrified folk music with a dedicated fan base across Western Africa and the lusophonic countries.

Super Mama Djombo's song, sung in Kreol, highlights the struggles faced by truck drivers in Guinea-Bissau as they navigate difficult roads with aging trucks. The lyrics describe the poor condition of the vehicles ("high bed" and "truck loaded with goods") and emphasize the importance of truckers in transporting food and fostering economic activity in places like Giguiridia, a market hub.

The song also reflects the harsh working conditions, mentioning the heavy cargo and dangerous, poorly maintained roads. It concludes with a plea to the mothers of the drivers to pray for their safety on these treacherous journeys. Overall, it celebrates the perseverance and contributions of these drivers to the nation's economy.

The Daniel Haaksman edit of "Dissan Na M´Bera" was first released in April 2020 on the BBE compilation "Daniel Haaksman Presents Black Atlantica Edits". Because of the Covid pandemic, the edit didn´t receive club-play at first but in the meantime grew into a staple in Afro oriented DJ sets across the globe, becoming one of the most played afro edits in Tulum in the 2023 season. The edit has been streamed on Spotify morethan 1 million times since its release in 2020.
