Ricky Martin is unquestionably the leading Latin Music figure of his generation. His instinctive understanding of rhythm, passion for performing, willingness to take creative risks and natural charisma has led Martin down a musical path of artistry and superstardom. Possessing an ability to completely captivate audiences with his stage presence, Martin is an artist fiercely proud of his Puerto Rican roots, but also capable of crossing artistic borders by fusing that cultural sound with universal music elements. It is exactly that career-self portrait of Latin rhythmic roots and global popular music that Ricky Martin presents in his long awaited unplugged album. Recorded in the traditional acoustic format of the iconic MTV series, RICKY MARTIN: MTV UNPLUGGED boasts lush orchestration and arrangements, while still capturing Martin's entrancing performance energy. With the stripped down production applied to many of Martin's famed Spanish language hits and three enticing new tracks, listeners are able to fully appreciate Martin's ability as a vocalist and his enjoyment in guiding fans through the razor-sharp band's presentation of Latin rhythms.
