Jesuíta Barbosa, who portrays Ney Matogrosso, uses his own singing voice early in the movie. The chanting on Rosa de Hiroshima is the actor's voice, likely enhanced to resemble that of Ney Matogrosso, in a similar way the movie Maria enhances Angelina Jolie's voice to resemble that of Maria Callas.
Despite grossing over 13 million reais on the box office, the movie stayed only 30 days in theaters before streaming on Netflix. This move sparkled controversy surrounding the streaming lobby in Brazil and the pressure made on theaters to favor big blockbuster movies while harming the national movie industry.
The original title, Homem com H, delves into societal issues regarding the perception of masculinity in Brazil, in contrast with Ney Matogrosso's presentation of self, challenging all those ideas. It also refers to a song he recorded. On Netflix, the title was changed to Latin Blood, referring to a famous Secos & Molhados song performed by Ney Matogrosso in his iconic owl face makeup.
