Grupo Firme made their Austin concert of La Última Peda tour extra memorable with surprise guest Demi Lovato, who they welcomed to the stage for the live debut of 'Chula'.

After a playful vocal back-and-forth, they ended their surprise performance of 'Chula' on Friday with a sweet hug.
The new track, with an official release date of August 15, arrives as música mexicana continues to shine on the Latin music scene.
“Demi Lovato is an artist we've admired since we were kids,” said Firme's Eduin Caz. Advertising sign last month in an interview in Miami, where the conversation turned to the group's work with the pop star weeks before his premiere. “We would watch her on TV.”
About their collaboration 'Chula', he said, “Thankfully the collaboration happened and the song is very good.”
“Mexican music has grown so much,” Johnny Kaz added. “Yes, some collaborations that you might not have imagined a few years ago with artists who want to make Mexican music are happening today.
