MTV Unplugged is a TV series showcasing many popular musical artists usually playing acoustic instruments. The show has received the George Foster Peabody Award and 3 Primetime Emmy nominations among many accolades.
The term Unplugged has become a term used to describe music usually heard on amplified instruments such as electric guitar and synthesizer that is rendered instead on instruments that are not electronically amplified, for example acoustic guitar or traditional piano, although a microphone is still used.
The word became incorporated into the title of a popular MTV series that began in the 1989/1990 US TV season, MTV Unplugged, on which musicians performed acoustic or "unplugged" versions of their familiar electric repertoire. Many of these performances were subsequently released as albums, often featuring the title Unplugged.
The underlying concept behind the Unplugged series has been attributed to the popularity among musicians of a variety of informal musical performances on stage, film, television and record in earlier decades. The casual "in-the-round" sequence in Elvis Presley's 1968 Comeback Special, and The Beatles informal studio jams documented in the 1970 film Let It Be were both precursors of the "Unplugged" concept, though they were neither conceived nor promoted as such at the time they occurred.
Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE, (born 30 March 1945) is an English guitarist and singer-songwriter. Clapton is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist, and separately as a member of The Yardbirds and Cream. Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and fourth in Gibson's Top 50 Guitarists of All Time.
In the mid 1960s, Clapton departed from the Yardbirds to play blues with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. In his one-year stay with Mayall, Clapton gained the nickname "Slowhand". Immediately after leaving Mayall, Clapton formed Cream, a power trio with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and "arty, blues-based psychedelic pop." For most of the 1970s, Clapton's output bore the influence of the mellow style of J.J. Cale and the reggae of Bob Marley. His version of Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" helped reggae reach a mass market. Two of his most popular recordings were "Layla", recorded by Derek and the Dominos, another band he formed and Robert Johnson's "Crossroads", recorded by Cream. A recipient of seventeen Grammy Awards, in 2004 Clapton was awarded a CBE for services to music. In 1998, Clapton, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, founded the Crossroads Centre on Antigua, a medical facility for recovering substance abusers.

Chorus/Estribillo:
Tu recuerdo sigue aquí, como un aguacero.
Rompe fuerte sobre mí, pero a fuego lento.
Quema y moja por igual
y ya no sé lo que pensar, si tu recuerdo me hace bien o me hace mal.
Un beso gris, un beso blanco, todo depende del lugar.
Que yo me fui, eso esta claro, pero tu recuerdo no se va.
Siento tus labios en las noches de verano, ahí están, cuidándome en mi soledad, pero a veces me quieren matar.
Chorus/Estribillo:
Tu recuerdo sigue aquí, como un aguacero.
Rompe fuerte sobre mí, pero a fuego lento.
Quema y moja por igual
y ya no sé lo que pensar, si tu recuerdo me hace bien o me hace mal.
A veces gris, a veces blanco, todo depende del lugar.
Que tú te fuiste eso es pasado, sé que te tengo que olvidar,
pero yo le puse una velita a todos mis santos.
Ahí están pa' que pienses mucho en mí, no dejes de pensar en mí.
Chorus/Estribillo:
Tu recuerdo sigue aquí, como un aguacero.
Rompe fuerte sobre mí, pero a fuego lento.
Quema y moja por igual
y ya no sé lo que pensar, si tu recuerdo me hace bien o me hace mal.
Piensa en mí, es antídoto y veneno al corazón.
Piensa bien, quema y moja, que viene y va.
Tú, ¿dónde estás?, atrapado entre los besos y el adiós.
Tu recuerdo sigue aquí, como aguacero de mayo
Rompe fuerte sobre mí y cae tan fuerte que hasta, me quema hasta la piel
Quema y moja por igual, y ya no sé lo que pensar,
si tu recuerdo me hace bien o me hace mal.
Tu recuerdo sigue aquí, le lo lai le lo le lo ohhh
Rompe fuerte sobre mi, pero que rompe, rompe.... el corazón
quema y moja por igual, sé que te tengo que olvidar...
si tu recuerdo me hace bien o me hace mal.
