A Melhor Banda De Todos Os Tempos Da Última Semana
''A Melhor Banda de Todos os Tempos da Última Semana'' (''Last Week's Best Band Ever'') is the eleventh studio album released by Brazilian rock band Titãs. It is the first album composed entirely of new material since 1995's ''Domingo''; the first (and only) released via Abril Music following the end of the partnership they had with WEA since the band's debut; the first without founding member and guitarist Marcelo Fromer, who died just before the recording sessions (and to whom the album is dedicated); the last featuring founding member, vocalist and bassist Nando Reis, who would leave the band after the album's release to focus on his solo career, and the last produced by Jack Endino. Fromer's death almost prompted the remaining members to postpone the album's recording and even made them consider ending the band, but the then sextet decided to carry on, deducing it would be what the guitarist wanted if alive.

Acústico MTV (Titãs Album)
''Acústico MTV'' is a musical television program originally aired by MTV Brasil, inspired by the series ''MTV Unplugged'', an American program created in 1989 where bands and artists play their music in an acoustic version, that is, with acoustic and non-electric instruments. Initially, ''Acústico MTV'' was born as a television program and, as a result, became a music label. For the Brazilian music industry, the series took the music market to its peak. With the end of MTV Brasil's management by Grupo Abril in September 2013, the station stopped producing the program. Therefore, the last acoustic one was with Arnaldo Antunes. However, in November 2018, Viacom (current owner of the rights to MTV Brasil) announced that it was returning with the project, as it is part of a strategy to reposition MTV in Brazil. The first guest artist was Tiago Iorc. Albums Official albums * (1992) ''Acústico MTV: João Bosco'' *(1994) ''Acústico MTV: Gilberto Gil'' *(1995) ''Acústico MTV: ...
