The two demos eventually found their way to 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 first album [[Los Hermanos (album)|self-titled album]], released in 1999, became a huge seller on the back of the hit single "[[Anna Júlia]]". The album's success was driven by the song "Anna Julia" chosen - for the record - as the first single, for it was a number that resonated among young people, identified with the [[Jovem Guarda]] style lyrics, mixed to a musical group influenced by rock, ska and samba.<ref>[http://www.screamyell.com.br/musica/loshermanosinterview.html Entrevista da banda ao site Scream Yell, à época do lançamento do segundo disco / fevereiro de 2002] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924095535/http://www.screamyell.com.br/musica/loshermanosinterview.html |date=2015-09-24 }}.</ref> The album was produced by famed producer Rick Bonadio, known for his work with bands that were selling-phenomena. According to Bonadio, he had been responsible for convincing the band to put the song in the final selection of the repertoire CD.<ref>[http://www.89fm.com.br/notas/?12846 Matéria do site da rádio 89 FM comenta

The year 2003 arrived and already in [[Bertelsmann Music Group|BMG]] (now [[Sony Music]]), the Hermanos released the album "[[Ventura (Los Hermanos album)|Ventura]]". Called "Bonança" at first, it was the first Brazilian disc to virtually "leak" in its pre-production phase. The third album featured a multi-faceted Los Hermanos. Of "Samba a Dois" to the pop rock of "O Vencedor", or with the dialogues of "Conversa de Botas Batidas" and "Do Lado de Dentro", "Ventura" was the album that consolidated the band on the national scene. The first single, "[[Cara Estranho]]", had good presence on the radio and was nominated to some music video awards. Then came "O Vencedor" and "Último Romance", the latter composed by Rodrigo Amarante, who wrote five of the 15 songs on the CD and started to stand out as a songwriter. The singer [[Maria Rita]], in her eponymous album, recorded three songs of Marcelo Camelo: "Santa Chuva", "Cara Valente" and "Veja Bem, Meu Bem". The shows began to house a legion of fans who had become the trademark of the band. It was on the tour of "Ventura" that it was shot the concert that became the DVD "Live at Cine Íris". Recorded in Rio de Janeiro, it contained predominantly their latest CD's repertoire. The band also recorded the soundtrack for the short film "Castanho", by Eduardo Valente, where the disco style was very evident in the early version of "Talk ..." and the song known only as "Tema do Macaco".
In the presentation of the band in the VMB 2003, they were presented by singer and composer [[Caetano Veloso]]. In announcing the band, Veloso put a fake red beard, like all members of the front rows of the awards. The action was classified as "embarrassing" by keyboardist Bruno Medina.<ref>[http://www.loshermanos.blogger.com.br/2003_10_01_archive.html Matéria da Revista Veja sobre os Los Hermanos, comentando o ato de Caetano Veloso / Outubro de 2003] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303205443/http://www.loshermanos.blogger.com.br/2003_10_01_archive.html |date=2016-03-03 }}: "Caetano Veloso até vestiu uma barba postiça, à la Los Hermanos, para apresentar o grupo na mais recente premiação da MTV. "Foi um gesto até bonito, mas ele não precisava pagar aquele mico", diz o tecladista Bruno Medina".</ref>
In January 2004, the band performed in [[Domingão do Faustão]], a famous TV show in Brazil. During the show, the band played the song "Anna Julia", due to the insistence of the presenter [[Fausto Silva]], who said that the band "never played" the song. The band received an e-mail from a fan, questioning and criticizing the presenter. This criticism was refuted by keyboardist Bruno Medina, at the very site of banda.<ref>[http://www.loshermanos.blogger.com.br/2004_02_01_archive.html Email de uma fã da banda e resposta de ] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303234717/http://www.loshermanos.blogger.com.br/2004_02_01_archive.html |date=2016-03-03 }}[[Bruno Medina]]<span> sobre a apresentação no programa Domingão do Faustão / janeiro de </span>2004.</ref>
In July 2004, the singer Marcelo Camelo was assaulted by [[Chorão]], vocalist of the band [[Charlie Brown Jr.]]
In 2008, both ''Bloco do Eu Sozinho'' and ''Ventura'' figured in [[Rolling Stone magazine]]'s list ''The Top 100 Brazilian Albums of All Time'', placing 42nd and 68th, respectively.<ref name="rateyourmusic.com"/>

In 2006 the band toured [[Portugal]] with [[The Strokes]] for the second time and [[Spain]] with Portuguese band [[Toranja]].

On April 23, 2007, after ten years of uninterrupted career work, the band announced a recess for an undetermined time span (hiatus). The note on the official website affirmed that there were no quarrels whatsoever among the band members, the reason for the recess simply being each one's need of time to dedicate to other personal activities. On the same note the band also announced its three final performances on June 7, 8 and 9th, in Rio de Janeiro. The two vocalists of the band released, in 2008, their first personal projects, during the hiatus of the band. Camelo released his brand new album, called [[Sou (album)|Sou]], and later another one, called "Toque Dela" (2011), while Amarante joined [[Fabrizio Moretti]], drummer of [[The Strokes]], and Binki Shapiro to form the band [[Little Joy]]. He also played with the supergroup [[Orquestra Imperial]]. In 2013, he released his first solo work, [[Cavalo (album)]]. Rodrigo Barba went to play drums in the bands Jason and Canastra.
