Lido Pimienta has shared a new music video for her Miss Colombia track "Te Quería" — directed and edited by J. Gallardo Kattah, the spooky, colourful video finds Pimienta in a sort of subterranean fantasy world populated by clowns and circus performers.

Things take a shocking, dark turn around the halfway mark, but Pimienta manages to restore some light by the time the credits roll. Of the video, Pimienta said in a statement:

The visual for "Te Quería" has always been conceived as a story about transformation—about getting right back up, despite having our spirit shut down. "Te Quería" is a song that exposes toxic relationships, power imbalances and the need for some people, particularly those who we love the most, to confuse our generosity for stupidity.

Last year, Pimienta toured the world in support of Miss Colombia. In the fall, she debuted a new variety program called LIDO TV at the Toronto International Film Festival and took the Exclaim! Questionnaire to tell us about witchcraft, collaborating with Nelly Furtado and LIDO TV
