Grupo Firme made La Última Peda Tour’s Austin concert especially unforgettable with surprise guest Demi Lovato, whom they welcomed on stage for the live debut of “Chula.”
Lovato joined Grupo Firme on stage Friday night (Aug. 2) at their arena show at the Texas capital’s Moody Center, arriving to cheers and screams from the crowd. The stars launched straight into their high-energy, flirtatious collaboration, a Spanish- and English-language bop.
She traded lines with Firme’s Eduin Caz on the chorus, with the pair hyping the crowd as they danced together with club-level energy to the beat of their hot new song.
After a playful vocal back-and-forth, they ended their surprise “Chula” performance on Friday with a sweet hug.
The new track, with an official release date of Aug. 15, arrives as música mexicana continues to shine on the Latin music scene.
“Demi Lovato is an artist whom we’ve admired since we were kids,” Firme’s Eduin Caz told Billboard last month in an interview in Miami, where the conversation turned to the the group’s work with the pop star weeks before its premiere. “We would watch her on television.”

Of their collab “Chula,” he said, “Luckily the collaboration happened and the song is really good.”
“Mexican music has grown so much,” Jhonny Caz added. “Yes, some collaborations that you might have not imagined a few years ago with artists who want to make Mexican music are happening today. It shows that music breaks many barriers, many boundaries. I hope these collaborations will continue and see what the future holds.”
