The following is a news release from Shoshone-Bannock Casino Hotel.
FORT HALL — Today, don’t be so formal because Lupita Infante leads a serenade live on stage at the Chiefs Event Center May 3.
Lupita Infante was born in Los Angeles, California to Marisol Esparza, a Mexican immigrant from the state of Zacatecas, and Pedro Infante Torrentera, the son of legendary icon Pedro Infante (1917-1957). She grew up loving and deeply respecting everything that makes Mexican music special, which is why her commitment to paying tribute to the greats – including her own family – is a central theme throughout her recorded and live performances.
After years of honing her craft and simultaneously working her way through college, she graduated in 2017 from UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Ethnomusicology (world music). Upon graduating she was a contestant and semifinalist on Mexico’s rendition of the talent competition The Voice. This proved to be the launching point of her professional career. The exposure from the show allowed her to put a team together that led to the creation of the GRAMMY nominated debut album, “La Serenata”. The album’s opening track, “Dejaré”, cowritten by Lupita and Luciano Luna, was nominated for best regional Mexican song in the Latin GRAMMYS, and the entire album received a GRAMMY nomination for best regional Mexican album.
