SELENA QUINTANILLA - PEREZ
1971 - 1995
Come Thursday, the Latin music industry will commemorate the 16th Anniversary of Selena's death. The Texas-born Latina began singing at the age of three, launched her first album in 1985, and earned a Grammy for Best Mexican / Mexican-American Album in 1994.

At the age of 23, the star was murdered by fan club president Yolanda Saldivar. Selena was killed after an attempt of confronting Saldivar who had been embezzling club funds.
Selena's career was in the process of making the 'crossover' into the international market. The few English tracks recorded were released in her first posthumous album, 'Dreaming of You'.
