Selena Quintanilla Perez was born to Abraham Quintanilla Jr. and Marcela Quintanilla on April 16, 1971, Easter Sunday, in Lake Jackson, Texas. Her father was a respected Latino musician who performed with a local group called Los Dinos. By the time Selena was 10 years old, she began performing with them alongside her brother Abraham Quintanilla III and sister Suzette Quintanilla in the group Selena y Los Dinos. Even though Selena’s native language was English, she sang mostly in Spanish in a style known as Tejano.
Selena y Los Dinos played everywhere that they could, streets, weddings, etc. Their hard work paid off and Selena recorded her first album in 1984 under the Freddie label titled “Mis Primeras Grabaciones”, “My First Recordings”. Her second album “Alpha was released in 1986. At the Tejano Music Awards, she took the award for Female Vocalist of the Year. Her career was really beginning to take off.
In 1988, two more albums were released, “Preciosa”, meaning “Precious” and “Dulce Amor” meaning “Sweet Love”. In 1989 was a good year for Selena. She was signed with Capitol/EMI Latin label. Selena y Los Dinos, which was once a three-person group, expanded. Pete Astudillo joined the group, but then left in 1993 to go solo.
Selena met a guitarist named Chris Perez who had performed with the popular singer Shelly Lares and had his own band. The Quintanilla family hired him to be in the band in 1990. On April 2, 1992, they got married. It was against her father’s wishes to get married though. He thought he was not good enough for her, but they got married anyway.
In 1990, a fan who approached Selena’s father with the idea of starting a fan club, Yolanda Saldivar, made it happen. She also became a very close friend of Selena’s. Her next album “Ven Conmigo” meaning they see with me was released that same year. Another album was released in 1994 titled “Amor Prohibido” meaning “Prohibited Love”
On March 31, 1995, Yolanda Saldivar, during a financial dispute with Selena shot her in her right shoulder and was pronounced dead two hours later. Selena was a beautiful woman and a wonderful signer, she would be missed by many people. She made such a contribution to the American culture and the Spanish culture. She sang in both Spanish and and English and made a big difference in people's life with her music.

the best | cariesticky | i really miss selena i wonder if she was
alive what new songs would she have out right
now? | Devilssweetsinger | Selena was and still is a cool person. She
set a great example for many latina women. | lacunacoilfan15 | selena was the most pretties person i have
ever seen in my life she had a voice to kill
for yes her life was sortin but she still
lives in me and her fans no one and i mean no
one will ever take the place of her.... | shamyla | Selena is one of a kind. Nobody could ever
replace her, and if it weren't for her
stupid JLo wouldn't have gotten famous. | lacunacoilfan15 | I've seen the movie a couple times, it was
pretty good, but very sad at the end. And
yesterday, one of my co-workers was playing
"Dreamin", and I nearly bursted
into tears while working. ;) I never got a
chance to know who she was when she was
alive, nor have I ever listened to her music,
except what was played in the movie
soundtrack, but she definitely sounded like a
sweet person, and not to mention, beautiful
as well. May she R.I.P., @>->---!
And to the fat ogre pinata Moolanda,
she'll definitely get what's coming to
her fat ass, and believe me, she will not
R.I.P. for what she did. >:) | AzN_HiPhOp_bOi | | | |
