“¿Seguimos o No?” stands as a bridge between tradition and modernity. Blending mariachi’s emotional core with pop sensibility, the track reflects the emotional crossroads of a relationship. the moment when two people must decide whether to stay or walk away.
The song emerged from a collaborative session in Los Angeles with acclaimed composers Mauro Muñoz, Agua Tinta, and Fernandita Díaz, all known for pushing the boundaries of Regional Mexican music. The result is a sound that feels both timeless and contemporary, rooted in the past but speaking to the present.
The track also captures the growing transformation of Lupita’s artistry, one that celebrates women in a genre still dominated by men. Her nomination is not just personal recognition; it’s symbolic of a new wave of female voices rewriting the future of Música Mexicana.
Over the past year, Lupita has continued to expand her influence beyond the studio. Her latest album, Las de Infante, released in October, reimagines 23 of her grandfather’s most iconic songs, bringing new life to a timeless repertoire.

Featuring collaborations with artists such as Manuel Medrano, David Aguilar, Daniel, Me Estás Matando, Raquel Sofía, and Gera Demara, the project offers a modern, intimate reinterpretation of the classics. With only one or two instruments accompanying each track, Las de Infante highlights the emotional depth of the melodies while introducing them to a new generation of listeners.
For Lupita, the album is more than a tribute, it’s a dialogue across generations. By infusing these songs with her perspective and the sounds of today, she ensures that the legacy of Pedro Infante continues to evolve rather than remain frozen in time. The project has also deepened her sense of purpose as an artist: to honor the past, tell new stories, and give voice to the experiences of women in her genre.

Her efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. In addition to her Latin GRAMMY nomination, Lupita has been recognized with two GRAMMY nominations, a People en Español “Most Powerful Women of 2024” feature, and the Espíritu Latino Award from the California Latino Legislative Caucus. Each accolade reflects her growing impact as one of the most respected voices in modern Música Mexicana.
As she prepares for the 2025 Latin GRAMMYs in Las Vegas, Lupita stands not only as the granddaughter of a legend but as a pioneering artist in her own right. With upcoming U.S. symphonic tour dates and new music on the horizon, her mission remains clear: to keep breaking barriers, amplifying women’s voices, and carrying the spirit of Mexico, one song at a time.
