Lupita Infante’s “La Corona es Mía” Album Release Party Was a Celebration of Power and Heritage

I attend Lupita Infante's album release party and had the privilege to speak with her before she hit the stage. We were inside a venue beautifully decorated with nods to Mexican heritage, Lupita Infante, the soulful singer and granddaughter of the legendary Pedro Infante officially released her album La Corona es Mía.

From the moment I walked in the energy was electric. The venue was filled with textures and tones that transported you straight to the heart of Mexico. There were vibrant florals, traditional designs, and a stunning photo display of the new album. The food? Classic tacos. The drinks? Icy micheladas. The vibe? Pure orgullo.

Backstage, I caught Lupita in a radiant state just minutes before her performance. When I asked how she was feeling, she smiled with glassy eyes and told me,“I’m so emotional. I see so many of my friends and family here supporting me. I’m also a little nervous because there are so many colleagues I admire in the crowd. It means the world to have them here.”

I then asked about the album’s powerful title — La Corona es Mía — and her response gave me chills.“It’s a declaration,” she said. “I won’t make myself small for anyone. If you don’t like it, that’s okay, because I believe in myself. Symbolically, we all have a crown on our heads, but as women, we forget that. This is me reminding myself, and others, not to forget.”

When I asked what the first thing is she does after stepping off stage, her answer was grounded in gratitude.“I thank God. I thank Him for this moment, for my team, for all the blessings,” she said. “I always say: the best is yet to come. This is a moment to celebrate, but that doesn’t mean we’re done. The work continues. We’ll keep fighting for our dreams until we reach the peak.” She even smiled and nodded to a lyric from her new album that echoed this exact sentiment.

As Lupita finally hit the stage, the love in the room was undeniable. She handed out flowers to the key people who’ve championed her from producers to managers to the family who’s stood by her side through it all. It was a tender moment, especially in an industry where women are so often told to do it alone.

Her set included powerful renditions of songs like “Tengo Mal Gusto,” “Te Digo No,” “Cuando Me Quieras,” and “Alérgica.” She closed out with her title track, “La Corona es Mía” a bold, empowering anthem.

It was a night filled with love, music, and media friends from outlets like Latin LA Times, Latin Nation, and many more. But more than that, it was a moment of reclaiming identity, honoring legacy, and stepping fully into self-worth.

Lupita Infante has officially claimed her crown and she’s not letting it go.
