They recorded two demos that eventually found their way into the hands of Paulo André, the producer of the Abril Pro Rock festival, in Recife. The band was then invited to perform on one of the biggest alternative music festivals in Brazil, the Superdemo. Their self-titled album, released in 1999, became a huge seller on the back of the hit single Anna Julia. Two less financially successful albums, Bloco do Eu Sozinho (2001) and Ventura (2003), followed, changing the punk-rock that highlighted their debut effort to a softer, more laid-back style. Although those two albums did not sell as much as the first one, they consolidated the band as a cult; mainly because of their so-called clever lyrics and mixture of brazilian rhytmhs with rock. Their newest record, simply titled 4 (four), was released in August, 2005.

Álbum: Luau MTV
Se você vier me perguntar por onde andei
No tempo em que você sonhava
De olhos abertos lhe direi
Amigo eu me desesperava
Que esse desespero é moda em 73
mas ando mesmo descontente
Desesperadamente eu falo (grito)em português
Tenho 25 anos de sonho e de sangue
E de América do Sul
Mas por força deste destino
Um tango argentino
Me cai bem melhor que um blues
Sei que assim falando pensas
Que esse desespero é moda em 73
Eu quero é que esse canto torto feito faca
Corte a carne de vocês (2x)
The lyrics of Los Hermanos's "A Palo Seco" provide a glimpse into the disillusionment of a young person in South America in the early 1970s. The song is sung from the perspective of someone who is being asked about their whereabouts during a time when the listener was still dreaming with their eyes open. The singer then expresses their feelings of desperation and discontentment, conveying the idea that these emotions are not simply a passing fad but deeply ingrained within their being. Interestingly, the singer chooses to express these emotions in Portuguese, adding an element of cultural identity to the song.
The second verse of the song provides additional context to understand the singer's perspective. They share that they have spent 25 years dreaming and bleeding for South America but due to the circumstances of their life, a tango argentino speaks to them more deeply than a blues song. The singer seems to be hinting at the way that external forces have shaped their identity and worldview, even as they continue to feel a connection to their home continent. The repeated line "Eu quero é que esse canto torto feito faca/Corte a carne de vocês" adds a touch of aggression to the song, conveying a desire for their feelings of desperation to be recognized and heard.
Overall, "A Palo Seco" is a fascinating snapshot of a particular moment in South American history and culture, and the universal feelings of disillusionment and longing that can arise even in the most specific of contexts.
