Movie Reviews of MTV Unplugged: Julieta Venegas
Movie Review: Pop music for the world!
Summary: 5 Stars
As an Anglo with only a smattering of Spanish, I was stunned to see Julieta Venegas performing El Presente while channel hopping. As I did further investigation, I found out just how huge Julieta is in the spanish speaking world. I would rank her right up there with Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Dolores O'Riordan and other English-speaking singer songwriters.
Julieta's clear pronunciation helps me to understand something of her lyrics, but it is her music and her voice that grabbed me! She combines a little rock, rap, mariachi, accordian, etc., etc. to create a unique blend. Her studio albums are terrific, but this live performance takes the cake. Her duets with other artists are stunning.
You won't go wrong with this one!
Movie Review: Julieta Venegas [MTV Unplugged] is a Masterpiece.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had not heard much about Julieta Venegas until recently, when I saw a video of her MTV Unplugged (El Presente) performance. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. I hardly EVER buy Latin music, much less a Latin performance on DVD. Even if you do not understand the language, Julieta's music trancends all boundaries. It is both a joy to listen to and watch the music video. I have purchased and would highly recommend the CD/DVD. Julieta Venegas' music is a breath of fresh air, contagious, and the harmonies are pitch perfect. Julieta Venegas is a talented lady indeed!Movie Review: Venegas revisted.
Summary: 5 Stars
This a great selection of tracks. These songs aren't the same songs as the originals, using acoustic instruments, they're actually rearranged for this presentation. The duets are amazing, the best, in my opinion, being Ilusión with Marisa Monte. Also, see people who are normally not in videos, like Natalia Laforcade and Gustavo Santalaolla (who did soundtracks for the movies 21 grams, Amores Perros, Motorcycle diaries and Brokeback Mountain). Worth every penny. A real treat for fans.Movie Review: Julieta Rocks!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Julieta really rocks in this DVD. I like her because she writes her songs, sets up the music and plays many instruments. She is a complete package!!
The DVD takes you into the lives of the people doing the video. I really like Ilusion with the duo with Marisa Montes.
If you like dancing, lights and special effects but don't care about good music this is not for you. If you enjoy good music done by real musicians that share part of their life the get it now.
Movie Review: Really great live album DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Our whole family loves this DVD, and we listen to it all the time around the house (though we had to buy that separately on Itunes). The arrangements for Unplugged are awesome (tuba! strings!), and the guests are great.
Of note, my wife and I saw this show live at the Aragon in Chicago... which sucked in comparison to the DVD. Julieta Venegas is a great performer, but the venue was terrible. The DVD has such great sound and is more intimate in feel.
