He released another LP in 2017, "Desde aquela noite", while celebrating the 30th anniversary of his second album, "A Revolta dos Dândis". Fernando "Nando" Peters, former Cidadão Quem member, took over the guitars in the same year, with Tavares leaving to dedicate himself to his solo career. In 2016, he released a LP, "Pra Ficar Legal", re-recording old songs and starting a new tour. The tour's recording became a DVD, "Insular Ao Vivo", released in 2014.In 2015, he was nominated for the 16th Latin Grammy Awards in the Best Brazilian Rock Album category. The album's tour was played in a "power trio" format: Gessinger back on bass (also playng keys and accordion), Rodrigo "Esteban" Tavares on guitar and Rafael Bisogno on drums. He recorded musics along muscian friends from Rio Grande do Sul and former Engenheiros do Hawaii members. In 2013, Humberto Gessinger released Insular, his first solo album, and first album composed solely by new songs in ten years. The duo lasted 4 years, till both singers decided to go on with their solo careers. Pouca VogalĪfter the band stopped its activities, Gessinger joined the friend and musician Duca Leindecker, former leader of the band Cidadão Quem and created the duo Pouca Vogal, in wich they played both musics from Engenheiros, Cidadão Quem and new compositions from both. In 2001, with yet another new formation of the band (Paulinho Galvão on guitar, Bernardo Fonseca on bass and Gláucio Ayala on drums), he returned to lead guitar. Engenheiros do Hawaii later joined back in 1997 with the Trio's formation (Humberto playing bass, Luciano Granja on guitar and Adal Fonseca on drums).

After the departure of both Licks (1993) and Maltz (1996) from the band, it entered a brief hiatus while Gessinger played along his newly-formed band, Humberto Gessinger Trio. With the departure of Marcelo Pitz in May 1987, Gessinger started playing bass and the band recruited Augusto Licks as lead guitarist. The band released their first album in 1986, although they had already appeared in a 'promising bands' collection of BMG Music at 1985. The band decided to call themselves Engenheiros do Hawaii, which made fun of the surf wear that most Engineering students sported at the university campus - far away from the nearest beaches. In late 1984, he formed a rock band with two friends from the architecture college at UFRGS, Carlos Maltz and Marcelo Pitz, to play in a parade made by students.
