Music videos
The original music video, directed by Angela Alvarado Rosa, won the 2004 Latin Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video.[3]
As part of the new projects, Draco and Ricky participated together in the recording of the single's music video in New York under the direction of Carlos Pérez. On January 14, 2013 Ricky Martin tweeted a photo of him and Draco with the caption "At the music video shoot of #MasYMas with my brother @dracorosa. #Vida".[4][5][6][7][8] The music video was released on Draco's YouTube channel on February 13, 2013.[9]
The music video for the obscure version of "Más y Más" was filmed at Phantom Vox Studios in Los Angeles in front of a small but intimate public and directed by Angela Alvarado, wife of Draco.[10]
On January 15, 2014 an official lyric video to the version of the song featuring Ricky Martin was released on Draco's official Vevo YouTube channel. The lyric video shows an artist (whose face is not shown) while he makes a guitar out of wood then uses it to record the song and produce a demo CD while the lyrics of the song are displayed. At the end of the video, the faceless artist slides the completed demo disc of the song under the door of his presumed love interest (to which the song refers to directly). A woman picks up the CD and pauses to examine it intently.
