Synopsis

Ely Guerra performs "Tengo Frio" in a stark natural setting, surrounded by dense woodland and the rushing water of a waterfall. The intimate presentation keeps the focus on her voice and physical presence rather than on a conventional storyline. Moving between close-ups and wider views of the rocks, trees, and cascading water, the video gives the song's longing and vulnerability a tactile, elemental atmosphere.

Factoids & Trivia

• "Tengo Frio" was released as part of Ely Guerra's 1999 album *Lotofire*, produced by Andres Levin. Guerra and Levin are credited as the song's writers.

• The original video was filmed in a forest in Morelos, Mexico. Its central image is Guerra beneath a waterfall, an austere setting that matches the song's exposed, melancholic mood.

• A 1999 report in *El Universal* described the production as having been made "with three pesos," underscoring its deliberately modest, independent feel.

• The song became one of the tracks associated with *Lotofire* and was featured on MTV Latin America.

• In 2025, the Mexican electronic duo BUDAYA released a new version of "Tengo Frio" with Guerra and made a separate video that deliberately connected the original forest imagery with a more technological Mexico City setting.
