Background

The show brings together some of the singer's hits in acoustic versions. For contractual reasons, there was a dispute between TV Globo and MTV about the show being shown on the cable TV network.{{Cite web |last=Sarubo |first=Leandro |date=April 19, 2021 |title=Roberto Carlos 80 anos: a história do Acústico MTV que nunca foi ao ar - Notícia de Música |url=https://teleguiado.com/musica/roberto-carlos-80-anos-a-historia-do-acustico-mtv-que-nunca-foi-ao-ar/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240719181650/https://teleguiado.com/musica/roberto-carlos-80-anos-a-historia-do-acustico-mtv-que-nunca-foi-ao-ar/ |archive-date=July 19, 2024 |access-date=November 23, 2014 |website=Teleguiado}}{{Cite web |last=Morais |first=Mariana |date=July 25, 2024 |title=Globo dispensa Roberto Carlos e não renova contrato |url=https://www.correiobraziliense.com.br/colunistas/mariana-morais/2024/07/6905959-globo-dispensa-roberto-carlos-e-nao-renova-contrato.html#:~:text=Cantor%20faturava%20R$%2015%20milh%C3%B5es%20anualmente%20na%20emissora&text=O%20rei,%20que%20%C3%A9%20exclusivo,de%2060%20anos%20da%20TV. |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240726055929/https://www.correiobraziliense.com.br/colunistas/mariana-morais/2024/07/6905959-globo-dispensa-roberto-carlos-e-nao-renova-contrato.html |archive-date=July 26, 2024 |access-date=November 23, 2024 |website=Correio Braziliense |language=pt-BR}} The singer has an exclusive contract with the broadcaster in Rio de Janeiro, where Roberto cannot perform on other television stations.{{Cite web |last=Santos |first=Lillian |last2= |date=July 25, 2024 |title=Com fim de contrato, Roberto Carlos negocia novo acordo na Globo |url=https://www.opovo.com.br/vidaearte/2024/07/25/com-fim-de-contrato-roberto-carlos-negocia-novo-acordo-na-globo.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240805071142/https://www.opovo.com.br/vidaearte/2024/07/25/com-fim-de-contrato-roberto-carlos-negocia-novo-acordo-na-globo.html |archive-date=August 5, 2024 |access-date=November 23, 2024 |website=O Povo |language=Portuguese}}{{Cite web |date=May 11, 2001 |title=Bastidores: Sem acordo, Globo não autoriza MTV a transmitir "Acústico" de Roberto Carlos |url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/ilustrad/fq1105200137.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160622093122/https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/ilustrad/fq1105200137.htm |archive-date=June 22, 2016 |access-date=November 23, 2024 |website=Folha de S.
