She took her voice to many civic squares, correctional buildings, mental health institutions, reformatories, offices and parks until in 1984, after 10 years of hard work, she recorded the track "Yolanda", also know as "Te Amo" (duet with Pablo Milanes), which conquered the hearts of all Mexico. Just in our country, the sales of the album reached million and a half copies.
Now-a-days, Guadalupe Pineda has a discography of 22 albums, with at least the latest 4 produced by herself as an independent artist. She has received Gold and Platinum certifications with some of her albums due to high sales, including a Double Platinum certification for her album "Arias de Opera" (2004).
Her voice has transcended Mexican frontiers, she has been included in national and foreign movies and also has been part of important collections such as "Buddha-bar" of France, or the "Monte Carlo" Italian collection, that have been edited and released all over the world.

Her most recent shows took place at Paris in 2005, and at the historic Argentinian opera house, "Teatro Colon of Buenos Aires" in November of 2006.
There have been also shows at some of the more important and recognized forums in Mexico, like "El Palacio de Bellas Artes", "Sala Nezahualcoyotl", "Teatro de la Ciudad de Mexico" (which was restored in 1985), "El Teatro Degollado", "El Teatro Juarez", and forums of the "Cervantino" festival, as well in the most representative and famous civic square of the country, the "Zocalo de la Ciudad de Mexico".

Cosas del Alma
Guadalupe Pineda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aunque a ti, te parezca mentira, las cosas del alma,
despiertan dormidas
Cada instante, que paso a tu lado, se impregna mi alma de ti
A pesar, de esas cosas tan grandes, tu sigues, dudando de mi
Que culpa tengo yo, de haber nacido así, inerte la expresión en mi
Dios solo sabe, que en mi pensamiento,
Sobre todas las cosas del mundo, no hay nada, primero que tu,
A pesar, de esas cosas tan grandes, tu sigues, dudando de mi
Que culpa tengo yo, de haber nacido así, inerte la expresión en mi
Dios solo sabe, que en mi pensamiento,
hay cosas del alma, de mi, para ti
Sobre todas las cosas, del mundo, no hay nada, primero que tu,
A pesar, de esas cosas tan grandes, tu sigues dudando de mi
...Tu sigues, dudando, de mi...
