"Anna Júlia" is a 1999 song by Brazilian rock band Los Hermanos from their first self-titled album. This was the first work of music and the first great success of the band.
History
The lyrics were written by Marcelo Camelo, and talks about a girl, Anna Julia Werneck, journalism student at PUC-Rio, for whom the then producer of the band was in love.[1]
At the time of its release the song was a hit, getting constant airplay in Brazilian radio and television.[2] The song gained versions in other languages, being re-recorded in English by Jim Capaldi and former Beatle George Harrison.[3][4]
After this initial success, Anna Julia became less played in Los Hermanos concerts. The band felt that the song does not represent in essence the style of the band, being a radio ballad, a sticky song with a rather simple lyrics that the label made them play to exhaustion. The band isolated on a site for production of their second album, Bloco do Eu Sozinho, with a more refined style.[5][6]
