Following in the footsteps of the legendary Linda Ronstadt, Mexican artist Cecy Millán makes her solo debut with the release of Los Laureles. The timeless mariachi classic, reimagined by Millán, not only honors Ronstadt’s legacy but also celebrates the strength of Mexican tradition and the resilience of its people. Los Laureles is the first single from her upcoming EP Sin Apariencias, set for release next year.

More than just a performance, Los Laureles becomes a hymn of identity and cultural resilience in these times—just as, in their day, the struggles of César Chávez and Dolores Huerta embodied the power of voice and community unity as tools for change and hope. For Cecy, preserving and sharing these songs is a reminder that Mexican music continues to be a source of strength and collective pride.

“This song means so much to me. It has been my refuge in dark times, but also a lucky charm and a source of joy in the brightest moments with my family. Today, with this new opportunity in life, I feel happy to pay tribute to the music that connects and sustains us,” shares Cecy Millán.

The single was produced by Ricardo Merino at Máster Q Studios in Tijuana, achieving a contemporary sound that fuses mariachi tradition with a fresh pop style. Cecy also features the vocals of her sister Andrea Millán, reaffirming the role of family as the backbone of her music.

With Los Laureles, Cecy Millán not only pays tribute to her roots, but also delivers a message of unity, resilience, and hope that resonates with the power of Mexican music in times of change.

The song holds an even more intimate meaning: it is a tribute to her grandmothers, who introduced her to these songs in childhood, songs that became her companions during life’s most turbulent moments. In them, she found refuge, strength, and the certainty that Mexican music is more than tradition—it is a bond that unites generations.

Los Laureles is now available on all digital platforms.
