Music video

A promotional video was released in a Mexican special television show in 1993 to promote La Chica Dorada; also, it included the new jack swing song of the album "Sangre Latina". The shot meant to look like it is shot in Middle Ages while Rubio looks sad in her bed remember her boyfriend, who murder dead in a fight. Rubio's hair is set in waves and she is wearing a golden dress and dramatic makeup.
According to Rubio, the song was inspired in a relationship with a boyfriend who died before to begin her solo career. In the video, she reflects poetically the depression and sadness she experienced during that period.
A similar style to the Middle Ages shows in his video "Suave y Sutil" From the album Deseo (2018), with clothes, accessories and makeup from that era, where Rubio takes the appearance of a femme fatale.
