===2006–2012: ''MTV Unplugged'', ''Música + Alma + Sexo'', and ''Evita''===
Although Martin's team and [[MTV]] had discussed an ''[[MTV Unplugged]]'' for years, but it became more serious after Martin's the One Night Only tour, which featured an [[Acoustic music|acoustic]] segment. Finally, Martin taped his ''MTV Unplugged'' set in Miami in August 2006, performing both romantic ballads and up-tempo [[Tropical music|tropical]] dance songs.<ref name="Unplugs">{{cite
