In 2003, Draco prepared for the release of his most ambitious project titled Mad Love consisting of lugubrious gothic ballads and esoteric windblown burdens.

The album was the first to earn Draco international recognition beyond Latin America, becoming widely popular in Europe.

With most songs in English and collaborations with musicians from all around the world, Mad Love included two videos directed by his wife, Angela Alvarado, "Dancing in the Rain" and "Lie Without a Lover".

It also debuted at #2 on Billboard's Heatseeker charts and was considered the #1 Latin album of 2004 by New York’s Newsday.
