MTV Unplugged: Música de fondo (Spanish: MTV Unplugged: Background Music) is the second live album recorded by Mexican alternative rock band Zoé. It was released on March 22, 2011, and it debuted at number one on the Mexican albums chart.[2] The album features a selection of their greatest hits from their previous records as well as a new song, "Labios Rotos". Música de fondo was awarded the Latin Grammy award for "Best Alternative Music Album" on November 10, 2011.[3]
The band is joined by Denise Gutierrez (“Lo Blondo”), vocalist of the Mexican alternative group Hello Seahorse!, who sings harmony and duets with León Larreguí on several songs and then sings the lead vocals on “Luna” late in the set. Mexican rock musician Chetes also accompanies the band on guitar and keyboard on various songs. Two additional celebrity guest performers sing duets with Larreguí during the set: Adrián Dargelos of the Argentine band Babasónicos, who sings on “Dead”, and Spanish rock singer Enrique Bunbury (former lead singer of Héroes del Silencio), who sings on “Nada”.[4]
