Acústico MTV (Portuguese for "MTV Unplugged") is the first live album and the second DVD by Brazilian alternative rock band Charlie Brown Jr., released both in CD and DVD formats on September 20, 2003, through EMI as part of now-defunct MTV Brasil's Acústico MTV series – the Brazilian equivalent of MTV Unplugged. It was recorded at the Teatro Mars in São Paulo from August 5–6, 2003, in a lavish set decorated as the nave of a Gothic church.[1]
The album contains acoustic-inflected re-interpretations of some of Charlie Brown Jr.'s greatest hits, alongside previously unreleased tracks such as "Vícios e Virtudes" and "Não Uso Sapato", and covers of bands and artists such as Nação Zumbi ("Samba Makossa"), Camisa de Vênus ("Hoje") and Jorge Ben Jor ("Oba, Lá Vem Ela").[2] Counting with guest appearances by Negra Li, Marcelo D2 of Planet Hemp fame, Camisa de Vênus frontman Marcelo Nova and hip hop group RZO, it was one of the band's most critically acclaimed and best-selling releases; the CD version was placed ninth in the list of most best-selling albums of 2003, and the DVD version in third. Overall, the CD version sold over 250,000 copies and won a Platinum certification by Pro-Música Brasil.[3]
As extras, the DVD contains interviews with the bandmembers, a making-of and a track-by-track commentary.
Anderson Nascimento of Galeria Musical gave the album a maximum rating of 5 out of 5 stars, calling it one of the "coolest Acústico MTV releases ever".[4] Mauro Ferreira of ISTOÉ also gave it a maximum rating, of 4 out of 4 stars; he considered it "the band's best release so far".[5]
