Who Was Selena?
ByPublisher Description
Discover why Selena, the Queen of Tejano music, became one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the twentieth century!
As a young girl, Selena Quintanilla sang in a band called Selena y Los Dinos with her brother and sister. The family performed at fairs, weddings, quinceañeras, and on street corners in their native Texas. Selena learned how to sing in Spanish and soon became hugely popular within the Latino community--so much so that she became the best-selling Latin artist of the 1990s. Selena was poised to be a great success, but her life was cut short after being fatally wounded by the president of her fan club. Selena's contributions to music and fashion during her life made her one of the top Latin musicians in the 1990s, and readers will want to know more about the woman who introduced the world to Tejano music.

“4.25 stars. I first learned about Selena in Spanish class. My teacher had the class watch the movie as part of the curriculum. After watching the movie I was interested in learning a little more about Selena so I read her husband's memoir titled To Selena, With Love. This quick read details Selena's life and how she became the Queen of Tejano Music. The book also briefly discussed her tragic death. Selena's impact on the world and legacy were discussed as well .Overall, this was an engaging read.”
