Background

Recorded on March 21, 2000 at the Mars Theater in the Bela Vista neighborhood of São Paulo, the album was intended to give a new look to the band Capital Inicial, founded in the 1980s in the Brazilian capital, Brasília.[7][8][9]

The album features two new songs, “Tudo que Vai” and “Natasha”, as well as a re-recording of “Primeiros Erros (Chove)”, composed by musician Kiko Zambianchi, who is also one of the guest musicians featured throughout the album and who accompanied the band on their tour to promote the album.[8][10][11][12] This was also the last album to feature guitarist Loro Jones.[13][14] The album also featured the participation of singer Zélia Duncan, a school friend of Dinho's, in the recording of the track “Eu Vou Estar”.[15]

Release

The album was released on March 26, 2002 on MTV Brazil.[10] The album was a huge success and charted six songs, “Tudo Que Vai”, “Primeiros Erros (Chove)”, “Natasha”, “Cai a Noite”, “Independência” and “Fogo”; consecrating the band's resurgence, which began with the album Atrás dos Olhos, released in 1998.[16]

The album was released on CD, DVD and VHS, all by Abril Music, the music subsidiary of the Abril group.[17][18]

Critical reception

Alexandre Nagado, from the entertainment portal Omelete, gave the album a positive review and wrote that: “Coming out of Brasilia in the early 1980s and still being a reference in Brazilian rock today, Capital Inicial takes a breather and prepares for the new millennium with what they do best: vigorous urban music.”[19] Jamari França, for the Rio de Janeiro newspaper Jornal do Brasil, also gave the album a positive review, calling it a 'light and unlocked revision' and praised the sound production “the sound of the record is perfect thanks to Marcelo Sussekind, the best producer in Brazil when it comes to making records within the classic parameters of pop-rock.[20]

On the other hand, Paulo Vieira, from the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper, criticized the album negatively: “Capital Inicial is as dated as Jovem Guarda [...] they put us all in there, make us sing the choruses happily, to the embarrassment of our children and nephews.”[21]

Legacy

Journalist Tatiana Tavares wrote for the Rio newspaper Tribuna da Imprensa in December 2000 that “Capital had its year of glory. With their 'Acústico MTV', Dinho Ouro Preto's band gained a new lease of life and played more shows in 2000 than ever before in their career".[24] The album is considered a turning point in the band's career, giving the artists a new lease of life on the commercial circuit.[25]

In Discoteca Básica's List of the 500 Greatest Brazilian Music Records, according to the more than 162 experts who took part in writing the book, they ranked Capital Inicial's Acústico MTV as number 347 in the poll.[26] Apart from it, only one other record by the band was mentioned in the vote, the debut album Capital Inicial.[26]

At the end of 2024, the band announced a tour for the following year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the album's release.[27][28] The show features members who took part in the original recording, such as Denny Conceição, Aislan Gomes, Kiko Zambianchi and production by Marcelo Sussekind.[29]
