After my parents got divorced, my dad would pick up my brother and me once a month and take us to the movies. I remember the time he took us to see Selena, starring Jennifer Lopez. We were the only white folks in that theater. My dad was a redneck, we didn't know anything about music, and none of us had any idea who Selena was. We loved the movie and walked out of there crying after it was over. I've been a fan of Selena ever since.

I'm currently drunk at a party, and we're all dancing to "Como la flor" by Selena. I've lived this moment like 30 times before, but its always as amazing.

I feel like I should listen to Selena for the first time, maybe a greatest hits.
YEAH, I NEVER LISTENED TO HER.

Even this song??

I guess I must've heard it somewhere, because the chorus sounds familiar. But I'm not really sure.
And tbh in the middle of the 90s all the Mexican music we had in Argentina was Thalia. And Fey. I think Fey is Mexican. Maybe not.

Yep, Fey is Mexican. Did you hear any Mexican rock in Argentina back in the 90s? Like Caifanes or Café Tacvba? Argentinian bands were super popular here in Mexico back then, and I guess they still are.

Plus Selena is Texan!

Café Tacvba were huge in the 90s, not so much with Re but with Avalancha De Éxitos. It was impossible to escape from "Cómo te extraño mi amor", that song was EVERYWHERE.
Caifanes had a small hit with "Afuera", and that's it.
Molotov are big still today.
I don't know if anybody here remembers La Lupita's "Ja ja ja".
Julieta Venegas was also huge, mainly in the Unplugged era.
And, unfortunately, Maná.
This fucking country loves Maná.

You'll know Monday. I'm currently working on the extras, and I can't wait to share them with you and read your opinions on them.

I could write an entire dissertation on how the loss of Selena changed the course of pop music in the mid nineties.
This is fascinating. I had never heard of her before this thread; her music must have never made it to Brazil. What a shocking story!
