Lupita Infante’s favorite songs
Lupita curated a playlist reflecting her musical taste for various occasions. From nostalgic anthems that bring back memories to songs that make her feel “super Mexican,” Lupita’s are a perfect mix to make your day. The singer shared her favorites for moments of sadness, empowerment, relaxation, love, and even the perfect playlist for getting through finals.
Lupita expressed nostalgia for the days of burning CDs and mentioned her collection stored in a binder with plastic sleeves. Lupita reminisced about her own favorite songs during the early 2000s, citing “Just A Girl” by No Doubt and “The Next Episode” by Dr. Dre as anthems that defined her childhood.
For feeling “super Mexican,” Lupita recommended the lively “El Jarabe Tapati o” by Mariachi Monumental de Silvestre Vargas. When in need of a cathartic experience, Lupita suggested her own song, “Ya Ni Me Acuerdo,” a piece that holds personal significance as her father used to sing it to her. To feel empowered, Lupita endorsed “Las Mexicanas,” her own collaboration with Erika Vidrio, Nena Guzman, and Grupo Emperatriz.
Lupita also shared her go-to playlist for calming nerves before a show, featuring anything by Ella Fitzgerald. In matters of the heart, she recommended “Por el Resto de Tu Vida” by Christian Nodal and Tini, describing it as a romantic favorite. Lupita’s study playlist during her UCLA days included Carla Morrison’s “Disfruto” and “Eres Tú,” resonating with the melancholy of Morrison’s sad songs.
For a personal touch, Lupita mentioned her homemade video on YouTube, “Este Diez de Mayo,” dedicated to her mother. The video, filmed on an iPhone during the pandemic, features her mom as the main actress and is not available on mainstream platforms.
