Fingi Na Hora Rir

The story behind

Los Hermanos recorded Fingi na hora rir in 2001, as part of their second album, Bloco do Eu Sozinho. The song was born amidst pressure from their label, Abril Music, which wanted another hit after the success of "Anna Júlia". The group, which had already sold over 350 thousand copies of their first album, decided to make the production in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro, away from distractions. During the process, the bassist Patrick Laplan left the group to focus on his own project, something attributed to his dissatisfaction with the band's evolving sound. The producer and collaborator Alexandre Kassin took over to replace him. Upon finishing the album, the label rejected the delivery, but the song remains part of their legacy.
