As you remember, Selena started out as a singer at the age of nine, when her father saw her talent for singing. That’s how he formed the band “Selena and the Dinos”, with Selena on vocals, AB Quintanilla on bass and Suzette Quintanilla on drums. Later, more members of the group arrived, including Joe Ojeada.

The keyboardist claims he was the creator of the tune “Baila esta cumbia” and that he was angry that he was denied credit for the Netflix series. Joe Ojeada was also disappointed in AB Quintanilla, as he gets the credit for this solo.

“I was part of all that production and so they don’t keep me in mind in those scenes, it does shock me. He was never a keyboard player, and for them to teach him (show him) on the series, it bothered me and no … I got a little pissed too because, I mean, well, they all know Los Dinos, that the melody of ‘Dance this Cumbia’ I made. AB leaned over and said, “You know what, don’t forget that melody, we’re going to use it.” And then, that’s where ‘Baila esta Cumbia’ was born, and so they didn’t give me credit… ”he told the Telemundo program“ Suelta La Sopa ”.

About his relationship with Selena Quintanilla’s father, the keyboardist stated that he does not communicate much with him and released a short but powerful sentence.

‘We don’t talk much. I think he only talks when he needs something (laughs). AB knows … I’m here to tell the truth, and I defend myself with my vote, because we all have a voice, ‘he stated.

“I’m here to tell the truth and I defend myself with my voice,” added Joe, while simultaneously referring to Chris Pérez, the widower of Selena Quintanilla, with whom he maintains a close relationship and works with him. for his project musical as a soloist that will soon see the light.

Los Dinos are without a doubt an important part of Selena’s history and success. Despite the success of the series, many people close to the circle of the queen of Tex-Mex are offended because they were not mentioned in the story of the star who was murdered by Yolanda Saldívar at the age of 23.
