Formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1997, Los Hermanos emerged from a gathering of musicians connected to PUC-Rio. The band began to gain a following with its first demos, recorded in 1998, the same year it also drew attention by performing at the Abril Pro Rock festival in Recife.
After signing with Abril Music, the group released their debut album, Los Hermanos, in 1999. The lineup consisted of Marcelo Camelo (vocals and guitar), Rodrigo Amarante (vocals, guitar, and flute), Bruno Medina (keyboards), Rodrigo Barba (drums), and Patrick Laplan (bass). The song “Anna Júlia” became a national hit, bringing the band to a much wider audience.
Patrick Laplan left the group in 2000. The following year, Bloco do Eu Sozinho marked a change in direction. In songs like “Todo Carnaval Tem Seu Fim,” Los Hermanos expanded their arrangements and made room for influences from Brazilian music, moving away from the more straightforward sound of their debut album.
This exploration gained momentum on Ventura (2003), an album that brought rock closer to samba and other elements of MPB. 4 (2005) delved deeper into the band’s more introspective phase. The four studio albums, each with its own distinct identity, established Los Hermanos as a defining force in Brazilian music of the 2000s.
In 2007, the group announced an indefinite hiatus. They reunited to open for Radiohead in Brazil in 2009 and performed other shows in the following years. In 2019, he released “Corre Corre,” his first new song since 4, and went on tour throughout the country.
