Live in Hollywood (RBD album)

Background and release

The live album was recorded on January 21, 2006 at the show performed in the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, California, which was part of RBD's second concert tour, titled 'Tour Generación 2006' or 'Nuestro Amor Tour'. The concert was the first the band performed in the United States. The show itself had a visually colorful and acoustic style, even counting with the support of a gospel choir.

One of the members of RBD, Christian Chávez, explained during an interview that the songs recorded belonged to the Nuestro Amor album, the difference being that this time the songs were acoustic, and added: "There are many instruments, strings, percussions, and the finished product is something very cool, more intimate".

The album was simultaneously put on sale on April 4, 2006 in Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. The live concert DVD recorded on January 21, 2006 was also released the same day. In Spain, the live album was released on December 11, 2006. The release is mostly composed of the songs included in RBD's second studio album, Nuestro Amor.

Singles

On April 19, 2006, the first single off the album was released, titled "No Pares". The song is performed solely by Dulce María. The song was written by Lynda Thomas and producer Carlos Lara. The single's music video was taken from footage in the live DVD, and was released to promote it. In 2007, the song won the award for 'Latin Song of the Year' at the 2007 Orgullosamente Latino Awards.
