Acústico MTV: Cássia Eller

Acústico MTV is Eller's final album before her death on December 29, 2001. The album consists of seventeen songs from various authors, such as Nando Reis, Renato Russo, Cazuza, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, among others.

For the recording of the album, the entire team met for three weeks at the São José farm.[1]

The album opener is a cover of "Non, je ne regrette rien", by Édith Piaf, a song suggested by Reis. Initially, he had thought of having Eller cover Janis Joplin, but he thought the American singer was too obvious a choice and recalled his times listening to Piaf with his mother, when she was still alive. During the sessions, he began questioning if the song was a good idea and a furious lightning hit the farm, followed by a tremendous thunder. Reis saw that as a message from his late mother encouraging him to stick to the idea.[1]

In "Relicário", there's a guitar line that co-producer Luiz Brasil associates with the Brazilian National Anthem, but that Reis had actually created having "In the Light", by Led Zeppelin, in mind.[1] The song "De Esquina" was suggested by his son Theo, who was a fan of Brazilian hip hop.[1]

The album won the Latin Grammy for Best Brazilian Rock Album in 2002.[2] It was one of the top twenty best-selling albums in Brazil in 2002.[3]
