Ricardo Gaspa

This album features live tracks from Ira's 200 concert in Sao Paulo. This is the first live album released by Ira!, one of Brazil's most popular rock bands. The 20-track repertoire is generous in its extensiveness, and the band sounds inspired. The bulk of the material here is drawn from Ira!'s first two albums. From their debut, De Mudança, which is now considered a landmark within Brazilian rock, there is the punk song "Coraçao" along with others such as "Tolices" (here with a folk music arrangement), "Longe de Tudo," "Como Os Ponteiros de Um Relógio," and a very fine version of "Núcleo Base." From the group's second album, Vivendo e Nao Aprendendo, there is the excellent "Dias de Luta" as well as "Envelheço Na Cidade," "Vitrine Viva," "Pobre Paulista," and "Gritos Na Multidao." The band's sweet breakthrough hit, "Flores Em Você," which at the time made it to the soundtrack of a popular TV series in Brazil, is of course also performed.

Nasi was always a controversial guy. Since his times with Ira! in the early 1980s, his name was among the most talented and also the most troublesome artists on the Brazilian scene.

Acústico MTV é um álbum de 2004 da banda brasileira Ira!. Foi o segundo projeto da banda pela MTV e primeiro disco lançado pela Arsenal Music. O disco traz as participações do cantor Samuel Rosa (líder do Skank), da cantora Pitty (em "Eu Quero Sempre Mais") e d'Os Paralamas do Sucesso (na canção "Envelheço na Cidade").
