😂 Okay, now seriously. "Chambear" is not used here in Spain. Searching on Google, I found that in much of Spanish-speaking America it means "to work" or "currar" (as we also say in Spain).
Mi primera chamba = My first job, my first curro — My first job

If you heard it in a reggaeton song, it is possible that the singer is Puerto Rican. There in Puerto Rico it may mean something like:
"The first time I went to the club"/"The first time I went to a party"

😂 Okay, ahora en serio. «Chambear» no se utiliza aquí en España. Buscando en google encontré que en gran parte de Hispano-América se le dice así a «trabajar» o «currar» (como lo decimos también en España).

Si lo escuchaste de una canción de reggaeton es posible que el cantante sea puertorriqueño. Allí en Puerto Rico quizá signifique algo como:
«La primera vez que fui al club»/«La primera vez que fui a una fiesta»
