History
Formation and first years (–99)
Then students from Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Marcelo Camelo (journalism), and Rodrigo Barba (psychology) formed a band that mixed hardcore influences with the lightness of lyrics about love. In addition, the band had a saxophonist, and, later, the keyboardist Bruno Medina, an advertising student at the same college, was incorporated to the group. When the musicians Rodrigo Amarante (vocals, guitar and percussion) and Patrick Laplan (bass) joined the band, and with the output of three musicians of their formation (trumpeter Marcio and saxophonists Carlos and Victor), they recorded in their first material, the demos "Chora" and "Amor e Folia."
The demos affected the underground scene of Rio de Janeiro and later the Los Hermanos were called to play at the "Superdemos", a great independent music festival from Rio, and festival Abril Pro Rock, in Recife, Pernambuco.

The lyrics were written by vocalistMarcelo Camelo about Anna Júlia Werneck, a journalism student at PUC-Rio, whom the band's producer Alex Werner was passionate about.
At the time of its release the song was a hit, and got constant airplay in Brazilian radio and television. Marcelo is the composer, singer and solo player of the biggest hit of Los Hermanos, the song Anna Julia, which was later covered by Jim Capaldi in an English-language version, featuring Capaldi, Deep Purple's Ian Paice on drums, The Jam's Paul Weller in bass and the beatleGeorge Harrison on solo guitar. The song was also recorded in Spanish by Los Hermanos, and in Italian by Daniele Groff.
After this initial success, Anna Julia gradually featured less in Los Hermanos' setlists. The band felt that the song, a radio ballad, did not represent the band's style, and was, according to Camelo himself, "a sticky song that the label made us play to exhaustion". This was part of the reason the band isolated themselves on a remote farm during production of their album, Bloco do Eu Sozinho, which featured a more produced sound.
