Herbert Up Close is the life and music of Herbert Vianna, front man of the Paralamas do Sucesso, "the most successful band in Brazillian rock", according to the Billboard magazine. In 2001, Herbert had his career interrupted by an airplane accident that killed his wife and left him disabled. Sitting on a wheelchair, Herbert watches his past on a television, a life of fighting, persistence and achievements shown by close and caring vision from directors Roberto Berliner and Pedro Bronz. The film tells the inside story of one of the most talented musicians in Latin American pop music.

Acústico MTV spans Gal Costa's career very thoroughly. What is very different here is the presentation of the material. Backed up by a lush orchestra (the Petrobrás Pró Música Orchestra), some of Gal's old hits have a beautiful new sound. Even some of her early songs, such as "Baby" and "Não Identificado," are more subdued. As a whole, the CD does show a more mature and secure performer. As added bonuses, Gal invites a few guests to sing with her. Having introduced Luiz Melodia to Brazil, Gal brings him back in "Pérola Negra," one great moment in the CD. Continuing the list of guests, Gal then introduces a new name in 1997: Zeca Baleiro. Their duet in "A Flor da Pele" is hauntingly beautiful and the most beautiful track in Acústico MTV. Targeting the younger MTV crowd, two names from Brazilian rock lend their voices in two additional duets.
