MTV Latin America, a unit of Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), announced today that Sony/BMG singer/songwriter Julieta Venegas will record the next edition of its MTV Unplugged franchise. This edition of the show marks the franchise’s twentieth edition produced by MTV Latin America and the first MTV Unplugged to be taped in Mexico City. Julieta Venegas MTV Unplugged will be recorded in March 2008 and will premiere on MTV Latin America, MTV Tr3s and MTV Spain in June 2008 (exact air date to be announced).
The Julieta Venegas MTV Unplugged will provide an acoustic platform for the Tijuana native to debut new songs and perform some of her biggest hits in an intimate setting before a live audience. Featuring elaborate arrangements, very interesting instrumentation and surprising artist collaborations, the show will be available to more than 100 MTVs around the world and will be offered to select broadcast television channels. In addition, Julieta Venegas MTV Unplugged will be released on CD and DVD and will be distributed worldwide in June 2008 by Sony/BMG.
“We are very happy to celebrate the music of Julieta with an MTV Unplugged,” said José Tillán, Senior Vice President of Creative, Content and Music for MTV/VH1 Latin America. “The show will have an intimate musical platform through which her established hits coupled with some new songs will be performed by a very interesting musical ensemble. I am sure it will delight the MTV audience and guarantee a unique experience for our viewers. This Unplugged is sure to be very special.”
“I am very happy about doing this project with MTV. It really is a great challenge for me to recreate the music I have already composed and take it to another level; to whom I am today,” commented Julieta Venegas. “I am looking forward to a great party. Something nice, festive and fun and with the team we’re putting together, it’s going to be great … how exciting!
“We are thrilled to bring forth this MTV Unplugged with Julieta Venegas as it will reveal an intimate Julieta, with lots of charisma and overall showcase her amazing talent,” commented Miguel Trujillo, General Director of Sony/BMG Music Entertainment Mexico. “In addition, this event will demonstrate the quality and good taste with which MTV presents its Unpluggeds.”
Julieta Venegas is known not only for her amazing musical talent and as a gifted songwriter, but also for her distinct interpretive style which has allowed her to take her music outside of her native Mexico. Having been invited by various artists to collaborate musically and with her voice, Venegas has demonstrated her remarkable talent and acceptance internationally.
Venegas’ last studio album Limón y Sal achieved triple platinum and gold status in Mexico, United States, Chile and Argentina, in addition to almost receiving double platinum status in Spain. Limón y Sal also achieved gold status in Central America, Colombia, Switzerland and Venezuela and her music was edited for the first time with this album in Italy and Switzerland where it has been widely accepted. Throughout her 11-year career, Venegas has garnered several international awards including a 2004 Latin Grammy for “Best Alternative Music Album.” In 2004, she was the big winner at the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America, garnering three trophies: “Artist of the Year,” “Best Solo Artist” and “Best Artist – Mexico.” Venegas was also named “Best Solo Artist” at Los Premios MTV Latin America 2006 and “Best Pop Artist” at Los Premios MTV Latin America 2007. “*
