Acústico MTV is a musical television program originally aired by MTV Brasil, inspired by the series MTV Unplugged, an American program created in 1989 where bands and artists play their music in an acoustic version, that is, with acoustic and non-electric instruments.
Initially, Acústico MTV was born as a television program and, as a result, became a music label. For the Brazilian music industry, the series took the music market to its peak.
With the end of MTV Brasil's management by Grupo Abril in September 2013, the station stopped producing the program. Therefore, the last acoustic one was with Arnaldo Antunes. However, in November 2018, Viacom (current owner of the rights to MTV Brasil) announced that it was returning with the project, as it is part of a strategy to reposition MTV in Brazil. The first guest artist was Tiago Iorc.
