In Memoriam

Filed under: Latinolicious

On March 31st, 1995, the life of singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez was tragically cut short when she was brutally murdered by a crazed business associate.

Fourteen years later, she still remains the Queen of Tejano music.

Her memory lives on!

Check out a lovely Selena tribute (above).

I was young when she died, but I remember it, and it was all over the news and it was sad because I knew her songs (a few of them) and its really one of the first 'Hollywood' memories I have, something big involving a star I mean. She was beautiful and a great talent and didnt deserve to go so early, especially at the hands of someone sh thought she could trust and love.

Selena is from my hometown of Lake Jackson, Texas and was a patient of my grandfather's optometry practice in Corpus Christi. RIP Selena, we miss you.

Re: throwherarock – Actually Tejano music is very much alive in deep south Texas. Her music is played and her legacy is kept alive. 99.5 Que Pasa plays her music often.
