Tr3s: MTV, Música y Más announces the premiere of “MTV Unplugged: Los Tigres del Norte & Friends” on Sunday, May 22nd at 8:00pm ET. Taped at the Hollywood Palladium earlier this year, the legends of Regional Mexican music took the stage for a larger-than-life performance alongside superstars Juanes, Residente of Calle 13, Zack de la Rocha (Rage Against the Machine/One Day as a Lion), Paulina Rubio, Diego Torres, and Andres Calamaro. The “MTV Unplugged: Los Tigres del Norte & Friends” album and DVD hit stores May 24 and will also travel abroad with premieres on MTV and Vh1 Latin America and MTV Spain.

“There are no words that can convey just how proud we are of this very special recording. We were honored to be the first group to bring Regional Mexican Music to the MTV Unplugged stage, and flattered to be joined by these extremely talented artists that we are blessed to also call our friends,” commented Los Tigres. “Their wonderful performances helped us craft powerful new interpretations of many of our favorite songs – creating an album that captures one of the most memorable nights of our career.”

“This epic celebration is the first unplugged in MTV history to feature regional Mexican music. It also was a magical night mashing up one of the most prolific bands in the universe with six superstar collaborators from around the world, uniting generations of fans and merging different genres of music,” said Charlie Singer, Senior Vice President of Content and Creative for Tr3s and Executive Producer of the show.

“This production has been tremendously rewarding for us and undoubtedly a notable milestone for the ‘Unplugged’ franchise. We raised the bar and took the concept to new heights, featuring the first-ever Regional-Mexican act and six amazing artists, who infused their distinctive sounds into the influential music of Los Tigres de Norte,” said Jesus Lara, SVP of Music Programming and Talent Strategy. “Viewers can expect to see an engaging and powerful show that truly celebrates the music heritage of these living legends.” He added.
