[5] Following the international success of their third studio album La Espada & la Pared (1995), the band gave several performances in United States as a "showcase" to the executives of Sony Music in the country, this culminated in the recording of the live album on September 14, 1995, the project was managed by Alfredo Lewin and Alex Pels, both from MTV Latin America, about the process of including the band into the MTV Unplugged series Lewin said that "after La Espada & la Pared, Los Tres were a priority for Sony, they had reached the ceiling in the Chilean market and MTV had demonstrated that the thing as pan-regional by 1995", the album was produced by Joe Blaney, who had worked with artists such as The Clash and The Ramones as well as in Hello!

[6] The album is composed by fifteen tracks, eleven of them are songs from their previous studio albums (five from Los Tres, one from Se Remata el Siglo and five from La Espada & la Pared), the unreleased song "Traje Desastre" and three cover versions of songs by Chilean musician Roberto Parra, the two cuecas "El Arrepentido" and "La Vida Que Yo He Pasado" and the foxtrot "Quién es la Que Viene Allí", these three covers are the three last songs in the album and were chosen as a hommage to Parra, a friend of Álvaro Henríquez, the leader of the band, and fellow musician who died months prior to the recording of the album, in April 1995.
