Celtas Cortos' illustrious career stretches over 26 years and 17 releases (including compilations), but
Vivos y Directos is only their second live album, after 1997's
Nos Vemos en los Bares. This two-CD/DVD set documents the band's 2011 tour and dedicates its first disc to rousing electric versions of their greatest hits, such as "El Emigrante," "20 de Abril," and "Haz Turismo," while the second mostly features acoustic versions of songs included in their latest studio work, the 2010 covers album
Introversiones. It also contains a previously unreleased new studio track, the promotional single "Días de Colores." ~ Mariano Prunes
