Editorial/Description:

Album Description: On March 6th, Julieta Venegas recorded her MTV Unplugged at the Churubusco Studies in Mexico City, where she presented new songs besides interpreting some of her greatest hits in an intimate atmosphere to a live audience.

This production counts on important and interesting collaborations like two time Oscar winner, Gustavo Santaolalla, who accompanied her with the banjo and sang the chorus of the song "Algun Dia (Someday)". Brazilian singer, Marisa Monte featured in song "Illusion", a new and beautiful song that combines the Spanish and Portuguese language.

Also Mala Rodriguez joined Julieta and included a strong hip hop movement to the song "Eres Para Mi (You are for Me)", whereas the vocalist of Porter, Juan Carlos had a unique participation in "Algun Dia (Someday)".

In addition, the very talented Natalia Lafourcade comprised of the orchestra and played several instruments during the night, whereas the talented musician and composer, Jacques Morelenbaum accompanied Julieta on the cello in "De mis Pasos (From my foot steps)".

There?s no doubt that Julieta Venegas is talented in the recording studio. Three great albums have proved her originality (Aquí,, Bueninvento, Sí) and the demand for her music (Limón y Sal sold a million copies). But on stage, Venegas doesn?t exude much energy or passion, so making a live album was risky for her career. On the other hand, like Alanis Morissette, Venegas was born to sing in small and intimate acoustic concert venues, and away from the masses, she knows how to create the magic one can find in her albums. On MTV Unpluggged, Venegas invites performers like Natalia Lafourcade, La Mala Rodríguez, Marisa Monte, and Juan Son to recreate new versions of her greatest hits that result in fresh and exciting collaborations. It?s a great musical montage of her practically perfect career. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español)

No hay duda de que Julieta Venegas es talentosa en un estudio de grabación. Tiene tres grandes álbumes que demuestran su originalidad (Aquí,Bueninvento, Sí) y un tropiezo en el pop desechable que aún así significó millones de copias para la tijuanense ("Limón y Sal"). Sobre el escenario, sin embargo, Venegas no imprime energía ni pasión, y por eso, una realización de un acústico representaba un riesgo en su carrera. Para fortuna de la misma cantante, Venegas, al igual que Alanis Morissette, nació para dar conciertos íntimos y acústicos, y alejada de las masas, sí sabe recrear la magia de sus discos. En MTV Unpluggged, Venegas invita a figuras como Natalia Lafourcade, La Mala Rodríguez, Marisa Monte, y Juan Son, logrando nuevas versiones de sus grandes éxitos que resultan excitantes y muy acertadas. Un buen recuento de una (casi) perfecta carrera. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español)
