RBD made history in this concert by becoming the first Spanish language act to sell out the Maracanã, overshadowing in the process the turnouts for acts such as Luis Miguel or Guns N' Roses. This particular concert also saw the first performance of "Ser O Parecer", RBD's lead single off of their then upcoming third studio album, Celestial.
The DVD included extra features such as a documentary following RBD's first Brazilian concert tour, in which the group performed 13 sold out concerts in 12 cities; the main being Manaus, Belém, Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Porto Alegre (the only city in which they played two concerts), Sao Paulo, and finishing on Rio de Janeiro, where the DVD was filmed. Other special features on the DVD include a behind-the-scenes documentary hosted by a teenage fan, showing other fans in line for the concert, as well as the tour's crew. A photo gallery with pictures of fans dressed as "rebeldes", taken during the line for the concert, was also included.
An official 2-CD promotional live album was made in Mexico, but was not released for sale, just distributed to radio stations. In Brazil, a special limited edition of the album was distributed to subscribers of cable TV channel Boomerang (in which RBD's originating telenovela, Rebelde, was shown) with a cardboard cover imitating the school uniform the characters wore in the telenovela.

Background and release
In 2006, RBD band member Anahí confirmed the recording of the live concert DVD at the Maracanã Stadium, stating: "Imagine our excitement, RBD will record their new live album in the Maracanã Stadium. I think it is a gift for the people who truly love us, plus I have so much faith in that concert and very soon you will be able to see it (in DVD) so you can see what happened."
The DVD was filmed on October 8, 2006 before a crowd of more than 50,000 people in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The filmed concert was part of the tour the band made throughout the country, titled Tour Brasil 2006, which reached 13 Brazilian cities. The concert was filmed by 27 cameras recording simultaneously, with an additional two floating overhead by helicopter.
The concert's setlist consisted of songs from RBD's first two studio albums, Rebelde and Nuestro Amor, while also having the premiere of "Ser O Parecer", the lead single from the group's then upcoming album, Celestial. RBD became the first Mexican group to perform at the Maracanã Stadium and to go on tour through various Brazilian cities. The live concert DVD was released on February 2, 2007 in Brazil and on March 20, 2007 in the United States and Mexico.
RBD band member Alfonso Herrera recommended the release, stating: "It's a wonderful DVD, I had the opportunity to sneak a few peaks, it's impressive, from the venue to how they made it and the show is incredible, the fireworks, it's awe-inspiring." Fellow group member Maite Perroni defined the concert as one full of passion, love, and talked about the warm welcome of the people, stating: "We ended dancing samba, we were very happy with all the people. The truth is that there has been many, many experiences like that one, it was a very beautiful moment."
