Personal Fact of Selena
Selena Quintanilla-Prez, famously known as the Queen of Tejano music, was a Mexican-American singer, composer, actress, spokesperson and fashion designer. She was the best-selling Latin artist of the 90s and one of the most noted entertainers of the last century. She is accredited for her inclusion of the Tejano music(a fusion of Columbian cumbia, pop, R&B sung in Spanish) genre into the mainstream music scene.
She made her debut as a part of the family band, Selena y Los Dinos. Her breakthrough happened when the album Entre a Mi Mundo peaked at the number 1 position on the U.S. Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart for 19 weeks straight. Her very popular song Como La Flor became one of the most celebrated signature songs. The album Live! was the first Mexican album by a Tejano artist to win the 1994 Grammy Awards.
She was also a spokesperson of Coca cola and donned sexy outfits with sensuous moves on stage. In the year 1995, she was shot dead by a previous employee of Selena Etc. Boutiques. Her murder created a huge furor in the Latino community. After her death, George W. Bush announced her birthday as Selena Day in Texas.
