Selena's life and legacy, 25 years later, will be celebrated by Latino artists at a tribute concert.
She said the core values of persevering through adversity and working hard to accomplish dreams — taught by their father Abraham Quintanilla, Jr. — along with Selena’s “amazing talent and ability to connect with people" has helped sustain Selena’s legacy” and continue to make her a role model 25 years after her death.
Although she was not as well known at the time among the white U.S. population, Selena had superstardom fame in the U.S. Latino community and abroad. Jennifer Lopez played Selena in a 1997 biopic in a breakout role that was the catalyst for Lopez’s acting and music career. Along with being a Grammy winner, Selena was known as the Queen of Tejano music and several stars from that genre are included in the lineup, several of whom are Grammy, Latin Grammy and Tejano Music Award winners.
The concert is from noon to 11:45 p.m. with tickets ranging from $40 to $200. Concert information can be found at www.Selena25.com
