MTV Latin America, MTV Spain and MTV Tr3s highly anticipate their mutual premiere of MTV Unplugged with Julieta Venegas, a one-hour special that showcases the Tijuana native as she performs huge hits like "Limón y Sal," "Eres Para Mí," and "Me Voy" before a small audience. Drawing on the "Unplugged" experimental vibe, Julieta brought a unique take on classic songs like "Lento" and "De Mis Pasos" during her show, introducing guest artists and having her band experiment with instruments like the tuba, clarinet, xylophone and a string quartet. Joining Julieta onstage during this special event are Oscar winner Gustavo Santaolalla, Brazilian singer Marisa Monte and Spanish rapper La Mala Rodríguez. In addition to her classic catalogue, Julieta introduced fans to four new songs during the show: "El Presente," "Algún Día," "Mira La Vida" and "Ilusión."
