MTV Ao Vivo is the first live album released by Brazilian band Nando Reis e os Infernais.
"Mantra" was featured on soundtrack of Rede Globo's telenovela Começar de Novo . It was written by Reis and Arnaldo Antunes and it was developed upon the sketch of a song he wrote under Paula Lavigne's request for a song to Ricky Martin at the time Reis was with Titãs recording Volume Dois . [1]
According to Reis, many radio stations controlled by Protestants refused to air the song due to it promoting a different religion, which disappointed him and which he considered censorship. [1]
Reis proposed inviting Hare Krishnas to perform in the song during a meeting with MTV and label Universal Music Group, but a few days before the trip to Porto Alegre, where the album was recorded, the label announced they wouldn't pay for the group's trip. Reis then decided to use his own money and bought some bus tickets for them. Following the song's first performance, which he says was well received by the audience, Universal's executives congratulated him and the song was later chosen as the album's single. [1]
"Por Onde Andei" was written after Reis was robbed in São Paulo. Before taking off with his car, one of the criminals rolled down the window, pointed a gun to him and yelled: "bum! bum!". Reis thought the criminal would really shoot and kill him and many thoughts passed through his mind. [2]
The verse "e a falta é a morte da esperança" ("absence is the death of hope"), according to Reis, is wrong; the original verse said "e a morte é a falta da esperança" ("death is the absence of hope"), but he sang it wrong during the song's performance and this version became official. [2]
The track was co-written by Paulo Monteiro and performed by Reis's first band, Os Camarões, formed to perform at a music festival at Colégio Santa Cruz in 1979, in which they were winners. [3]
This track had already been released by Jota Quest on their MTV ao Vivo album. It was written by Reis in Taos, United States, where he was recording overdubs for his then future album A Letra A with producer and drummer Barrett Martin. Martin was dating a native American from a nearby pueblo. One night, Reis took part in a shamanic ritual and, soon after, he had a seat by Martin's fireplace and quickly wrote the song which, according to him, became his possibly greatest hit. [4]

From MTV Ao Vivo on, all albums by Nando Reis started being credited to both him and the band. Around the time of Sim e Não's release, he explained the change: "[...] I write songs and we decide the arrangements as a team. It was a gradual perception [the name change from Nando Reis to Nando Reis e os Infernais], when I realized that I liked to be seen as an artist who had a conversation with the band rather than as an artist backed by a band."
