Inimigos da HP is one of the most expressive and festive names in the current pagoda scene. When they decided to form a group in 1999, Sebá (vocal), Tocha (tantan), Cebola (tambourine), Gui (cavaquinho) and Alemão (surdo and percussion) did not expect the spontaneous success they would achieve.
In an unpretentious way, the friends who had their fixed jobs - a large part of engineers, on the weekends were partying together. The meetings always yielded a good sound and ended up in a pagoda, and so, the friends decided to make music a new career.
The band's name is a joke in honor of the famous calculator (HP), one of the main working tools for engineers. Since most of the members exercised this profession, when they were having fun making a sound, they considered themselves enemies of the calculator and therefore made this joke the Inimigos da HP group.
Transforming life into fun, is a gift of the five, who in a successful career in 1999, released an independent and homonymous album. It didn't take long for the authenticity of Inimigos da HP to invade the radio waves of the entire country in the coming years, with hits like "Toca Um Samba Aí", "Bons Momentos", "Musa da Praia" and "Nosso Filme".
In addition to having achieved commercial success, the attention of the media and the public with several participations in radio and TV programs, the band was also awarded a Latin Grammy nomination in 2009, with the DVD "Ao Vivo em Zoodstock", proving the talent and artistic influence of Inimigos da HP in the pagoda.
With the musical versatility and charisma of its members, the group conquered a legion of fans and loyal admirers, who started to count on the diverse repertoire of Inimigos as the soundtrack for their weddings, graduation parties and busy nights in bars and ballads.
The numbers don't lie. In addition to having already received two gold records with their CDs and DVDs, the friends perform more than 200 shows a year, always remaining active and passionate about music and its audience. In 2018, they released the single "Quem Não Ama Não Vai Entender", which once again showed the reinvention power of artists.
In 2019, the group completed a 20-year career. To celebrate these two decades of many stories, Inimigos da HP released in February the song "Tudo para Chamar Sua Atençao" and after four months, the single "Gin". Still in a rhythm of celebration, in the second half of the same year, the members announced on the main digital platforms, the relaunch of the entire albums
that have been successful throughout their careers. The first work to be made available was “Amigos da Balada” recorded in 2010 and to close the festivities, in October they released the song “A Regra do Jogo” which has a special participation by Sorriso Maroto.
In 2020, Inimigos da HP launched the hit “Carnavrau” that packed the São Paulo carnival, and in September “Mistura Perfeita” arrived on platforms with a concept unlike anything that musicians have released in these 21 years of career, the clip brings concepts from international pop to the pagoda such as: lights, dance and the enhancement of colors like neon.
