Unplugged

The MTV Unplugged series are small concerts organized by the company MTV. The series had its height in the 90's, as a vehicle for artists to devote time to revitalize the careers of great performers. This type of format, created by MTV, has caused much attraction to the public, because in each concert will show different types of new instruments that help to get a very good resonance and musical arrangements.

The term Unplugged has become a term used to describe music usually heard on amplified instruments such as electric guitar and synthesizer that is rendered instead on instruments that are not electronically amplified, for example acoustic guitar or traditional piano, although a microphone is still used.

The word became incorporated into the title of a popular MTV series that began in the 1989/1990 US TV season, MTV Unplugged, on which musicians performed acoustic or "unplugged" versions of their familiar electric repertoire. Many of these performances were subsequently released as albums, often featuring the title Unplugged.
