    People en Español

    There's no doubt that Julieta Venegas is talented in the recording studio. Three great albums have proved her originality (Aqui,, Bueninvento, Si) and the demand for her music (Limon 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 Rodriguez, 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 Sanchez (People en EspanolPeople en Espanol)

    No hay duda de que Julieta Venegas es talentosa en un estudio de grabacion. Tiene tres grandes albumes que demuestran su originalidad (Aqui, Bueninvento, Si) y un tropiezo en el pop desechable que aún asi significo millones de copias para la tijuanense ("Limon y Sal"). Sobre el escenario, sin embargo, Venegas no imprime energia ni pasion, y por eso, una realizacion de un acústico representaba un riesgo en su carrera. Para fortuna de la misma cantante, Venegas, al igual que Alanis Morissette, nacio para dar conciertos intimos y acústicos, y alejada de las masas, si sabe recrear la magia de sus discos. En MTV Unpluggged, Venegas invita a figuras como Natalia Lafourcade, La Mala Rodriguez, 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 Sanchez (People en EspanolPeople en Espanol)

    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)".

    5 out of 5 stars La re-invencion musical de Julieta Venegas - una joya musical   June 18, 2008
     8 out of 10 found this review helpful

    Este no es cualquier acustico. La multi-talentosa Julieta Venegas aprovecho esta oportunidad para crear una propuesta musical nueva, re-inventando sus canciones, llenandolas de nuevos sonidos a través de excelentes y novedosos arreglos. Ademas, seleciono muy bien sus invitados, basandose en su calidad artistica y no en el nivel de fama de estos. Fue un verdadero "dream team". Para comenzar, tiene entre sus musicos a la tambien talentosisima y multi-instrumentista Natalia Lafourcade. En "eres para mi" invito a la hip-hoper espanola La Mala Rodriguez, (hermosa y sexy por demas!)haciendo gala de su destreza y fuerza en el escenario. Otra agradable sorpresa fue Juan Son. Les confieso que no sabia quien era, pero que voz mas impresionante! Ademas, le toco cantar una de las mejores canciones de Julieta - "de mis pasos" de su primer disco -. Como si fuera poco, tuvo de invitada a Marisa Monte, para muchos la mejor cantante de su generacion de la musica brasileira. Con su habitual seguridad y elegancia la "tribalsta" se lucio como siempre con su increible voz y modo de interpretar. Luego subio a la tarima su antiguo productor, el Rey Midas del Rock en espanol y ganador de dos Oscares, Gustavo Santaolalla,.Para cerrar con broche de oro, la acompano en la co-direccion y co-produccion Jaques Morelenbaum; quieren una referencia? este violonchelista es el director musical de Caetano Veloso. En sintesis, Una produccion impecable, que la disfruten...


    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.   June 30, 2008

    It's obvious Julieta enjoys what she's doing. I've heard alot of music...I currently own hundreds of albums from all over the world and she is one of my favorites. I've heard very few artists who can time and time again deliver amazing preformances one after the other. Not only does she sing she writes songs, plays the accordion, produces, and arranges as well. I own, including this album, four of her five (not including her best of). This album is amazing, she breathes new life into her best songs and offers a few new ones to boot. Unplugged performaces often suffer from trying to hard to recreate what was originally done with electric guitars and haevy studio mixing. Naturally she does a very good job.


    5 out of 5 stars Great Unplugged   July 14, 2008

    For those who like unplugged concerts or Julieta Venegas, this is a must have. I recommend songs like Lento (my favorite) and the new ones!!!

    Note: Attention to a great song in portuguese!!!!



    5 out of 5 stars A wonderful talent *****   July 19, 2008

    I discovered Julieta Venegas while vacationing in Chile. Her song "Lento" came on the T.V. I was immediately drawn to the tune. I searched out the CD and was hooked. She is a great songwriter, arranger, singer and I have yet to hear a song of hers I don't enjoy. I am not generally a big Latin music fan, but her songs, while sung in Spanish, are much more diverse than that catagorization would imply.


    5 out of 5 stars Julieta Unplugged, she has done it again!   July 6, 2008

    She is the equivalent of Alanis Morissette from Mexico. Great artist, very creative and talented. This is her best yet.
