Transcription
Music video
The song received a video titled "Por el Contrario (Performance Video)" which was directed by Karla Read and released on December 13, 2023.[2] Set against a desert backdrop that pulls inspiration from José María Velasco, the artists showcase their emotional depth in a synchronized display, dressed in a rich red wine hue that elevates the visual elements at play, inviting viewers to get a fly-on-the-wall look at their performance as the artists break the fourth wall. The chemistry between them takes center stage, elevated by the accompaniment of a 6-person mariachi band skillfully creating a powerful symphony that encapsulates the song’s emotions and allows the message to resonate even further with its audience.[3]
