[6] In the early 1990s, the band was approached by MTV, then recently established in Brazil, and asked to record some songs for a special program.

The original idea was to prepare a video to promote their then new album V, but due to the group's reluctance, the offer was changed to a MTV Unplugged presentation.

The idea was cancelled and redone over ten times, due in part to the fact that the band wanted to be informed about the project's every detail.

[10] The repertoire is composed of songs from the band's early albums such as ""Índios"", "Pais e Filhos", "Eu Sei", "Há Tempos", "Baader-Meinhof Blues" and "Faroeste Caboclo"; songs from the then new album, such as "Sereníssima", "Teatro dos Vampiros" and "Metal Contra as Nuvens"; and English-language covers such as "On the Way Home" (Neil Young with Buffalo Springfield), "Rise" (by Public Image Ltd), "Head On" (The Jesus and Mary Chain) and "The Last Time I Saw Richard" (Joni Mitchell).

The main single is "Hoje a Noite Não Tem Luar" (Portuguese-language cover of "Hoy Me Voy Para México" (by Puerto Rican boy band Menudo) created by Carlos Colla).
