Como La Flor: The Selena Musical
Starring Andrea Gomez
A musical tribute to the slain Tejano singer. Until her untimely death at age 23, Selena was the sexy and charismatic 'Queen of Tejano.' Tejano music is a South Texas creation which uses guitars and accordions to blend Mexican music with European polkas and waltzes. Selena was raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, and before she turned 10 she was already fronting the family band, Los Dinos. Their 1989 album Selena y Los Dinos put them on the map, and the 1992 album Entre a Mi Mundo (Enter My World) went gold. Still unknown in much of America, Selena became a star in Mexico and Latin America, known both for her Spanish-language hits and her wholesome appeal. Dreaming of You, her final album, was released posthumously in the early summer. The album went straight to the number one spot on the Billboard chart and sold over a million copies. The crossover success that Selena had always hoped for had finally come and the album's success brought Tejano music to millions of fans who previously knew nothing about this genre of music.
