Vivo is a live album released by Puerto Rican singer Vico C released on June 5, 2001, by EMI Latin. It offers a collection of Vico C's greatest hits recorded entirely live in a concert held at the Luis Muñoz Marín Amphitheater in Hato Rey recorded in 1999. Also, Vivo presents a medley made up of some of Vico C's most popular songs: "El Filósofo", "La Calle", "En Coma", "Sin Pena" and "La Recta Final" and the unreleased song "El Super Heroe" along with a comic book focused on that character was included in the album.[1][2]

Unlike much of the rougheredged rap, the artist used strong melodic lines and acoustic instruments as backdrop, borrowing freely from well-known grooves (Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" on "El Filosofo") and songs ("I Like/Baby Quiero Hacerlo" performed with Lizzy Estrella, translates the chorus of the S.O.S. Band's R&B/pop/disco hit, "Take Your Time Do It Right").[3] Vivo receive positive reviews by the critics. It won Best Rap/Hip-Hop Album at the 3rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards,[4][5] and was nominated for Latin Rap Album of the Year at the 2002 Billboard Latin Music Awards. It debuted at number 43 US Top Latin Albums.[6][7]
