The recent premiere in Netflix from Selena: The series made millions of people curious to learn about the life of the inner circle of the queen of Tex-Mex. The singer established herself as one of the greatest Latin artists of all time. His songs are still valid to this day.
His early departure shocked the world. His journey through this life was short but without doubt memorable. She was considered the “Mexican Madonna” during her lifetime and her death at the age of 23 led her to position herself as a musical legend that has transcended generations. She was an American of Mexican descent, so her father encouraged her to sing in Spanish. What I never believed is he would get that high with his music.
Abraham Quintanilla, the star’s father, was also a musician during his childhood. He was a singer in the band The dinosaurs, which he had to leave abruptly for military service. After the death of Selena, intensified his work as a music producer and directed the film about his daughter’s life starring Jennifer Lopez released in 1997. Today he is 81 years old and, although he continues to run his own Q-Studios, has delegated many of the responsibilities to his other two children: Suzette and AB.
From Marcella Samora, the mother of the Tex-Mex queen, little is known. He is 76 years old and has preferred to keep down in recent years. She guides her husband on projects and Selena Foundation they have created to help underprivileged children continue their studies.
