Background

edit

Context

edit

The show brings together some of the singer's hits in acoustic versions. For contractual reasons, there was a dispute between TV Globo and MTV about the show being shown on the cable TV network.[7][8] The singer has an exclusive contract with the broadcaster in Rio de Janeiro, where Roberto cannot perform on other television stations.[9][10] For contractual reasons, the show was never shown on MTV or on Brazilian television.[7]

Recording

edit

The program was recorded in the Jacarepaguá, neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, over two days and featured VJs Luiz Thunderbird [pt], Marina Person and Didi Wagner.[11][12] A music video for Todos Estão Surdos was produced without images of the concert, something unheard of in the show's history.[11] For the same reasons, Globo re-filmed a show similar to Acústico MTV in its studios and presented it as Roberto's end-of-year special.[13] The album, which was an absolute sales success, as was the DVD, was withdrawn from the catalog.[14]

The show features special guest appearances by musicians Milton Guedes [pt] playing harmonica on Parei na Contramão; Samuel Rosa, lead singer and guitarist of the rock band Skank, on guitar on É Proibido Fumar – re-recorded by the group from Minas Gerais on the tribute to Roberto and on the album Calango, in 1994; and Tony Bellotto, guitarist of Titãs, on É Preciso Saber Viver – re-recorded by the band from São Paulo on the album Volume Dois, in 1998.[11][15]

Commercial performance

edit

The album sold 1.6 million records in the country.[16] According to figures from Pro-Música Brasil, the DVD and CD have achieved 'diamond' sales certification.[17]
