1
00:00:12,458 --> 00:00:14,333
Yes.

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,208
Yes. I'm here now. Sorry.

3
00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:19,875
We're not on the air, right?

4
00:00:20,541 --> 00:00:21,875
- Not yet.
- Because...

5
00:00:21,958 --> 00:00:23,666
Yes, this thing is coming out of my ear.

6
00:00:27,833 --> 00:00:28,750
Okay.

7
00:00:31,791 --> 00:00:35,208
You are on the cusp of something great.
Because you are about to open

8
00:00:35,291 --> 00:00:38,791
A completely new trend in the world of music
In front of the American public.

9
00:00:38,875 --> 00:00:40,541
- Isn't it?
- I hope so.

10
00:00:42,750 --> 00:00:43,916
Was there tension in my voice?

11
00:00:44,416 --> 00:00:45,416
I can't believe it.

12
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:48,750
I stumble on some words
I try to translate it into English, then...

13
00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:50,625
- How…
-You did well.

14
00:00:50,708 --> 00:00:52,041
- Was it acceptable?
- Yes.

15
00:00:52,125 --> 00:00:53,500
Okay.

16
00:00:55,541 --> 00:00:56,916
They are preparing to film another scene.

17
00:00:57,833 --> 00:01:00,250
I started singing at the age of six and a half,

18
00:01:00,333 --> 00:01:03,875
I was singing in front of the family
And in family gatherings.

19
00:01:03,958 --> 00:01:06,250
I remember my father at that time

20
00:01:06,333 --> 00:01:09,083
He forced us to play for our relatives.

21
00:01:10,375 --> 00:01:12,125
We worked very hard.

22
00:01:12,208 --> 00:01:13,208
We suffered together,

23
00:01:13,291 --> 00:01:15,750
Now that we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel,

24
00:01:15,833 --> 00:01:18,708
When we see success, we feel very excited.

25
00:01:18,791 --> 00:01:23,458
I can't help but feel amazed
About everything that happens in my life.

26
00:01:28,666 --> 00:01:31,791
I was very shy when I was young.

27
00:01:31,875 --> 00:01:35,500
And I remember going through a phase
Where I wanted to sing,

28
00:01:35,583 --> 00:01:37,250
But I wondered, “How will people see me?”

29
00:01:38,416 --> 00:01:41,833
We suffered a lot
To get to where we are today.

30
00:01:44,166 --> 00:01:46,416
I never imagined being here now.

31
00:01:46,958 --> 00:01:49,166
And that all these people know our songs.

32
00:01:50,208 --> 00:01:52,875
But here we are, 14 years later.

33
00:01:54,583 --> 00:01:57,166
"(Selena)"

34
00:01:59,166 --> 00:02:01,916
Hispanic community
During most of this century,

35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,583
lived marginalized or completely neglected,

36
00:02:03,666 --> 00:02:05,833
But there are some signs of change.

37
00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:24,750
"Selena Quintanilla"
One of our greatest sources of pride

38
00:02:24,833 --> 00:02:27,291
She is the queen of Tejano music.

39
00:02:28,291 --> 00:02:33,000
She lit a path of hope and opportunity
In front of an entire generation.

40
00:02:33,916 --> 00:02:36,708
She fought all the battles and crossed all the barriers.

41
00:02:36,791 --> 00:02:40,166
Sexism and discrimination against Americans
People of Mexican descent.

42
00:02:40,250 --> 00:02:42,583
And all the obstacles of the artistic field.

43
00:02:42,666 --> 00:02:45,291
How are you doing, people of Houston, Texas?

44
00:02:48,041 --> 00:02:49,458
Thank you very much.

45
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:19,291
I think a lot of Latinos
Hispanics are more proud of their culture.

46
00:03:20,041 --> 00:03:21,208
That's why they thrive.

47
00:03:21,291 --> 00:03:23,958
And I feel that music will continue to flourish.

48
00:03:26,666 --> 00:03:29,958
You are the one leading the way
And you create this prosperity.

49
00:03:30,041 --> 00:03:34,500
I wish I could give all the credit to myself,
But I think it's a joint effort.

50
00:03:34,583 --> 00:03:36,708
My brother is a producer.

51
00:03:36,791 --> 00:03:38,416
My father is a manager.

52
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,041
My sister is a drummer in the band.

53
00:03:41,125 --> 00:03:43,208
-This is a family project.
- Yes, it is.

54
00:03:52,166 --> 00:03:53,750
Many people ask me,

55
00:03:53,833 --> 00:03:56,791
How can you work with family
And accompany them around the clock?

56
00:03:56,875 --> 00:04:00,250
We are united by love and respect for each other
Besides music.

57
00:04:00,333 --> 00:04:02,833
I think this is one of the secrets of our success.

58
00:04:02,916 --> 00:04:04,791
We managed to come together in good times and bad.

59
00:04:04,875 --> 00:04:07,791
Not many people can maintain that
for such a long period.

60
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:26,166
-You are loving life at the moment.
- I loved her before, but my love for her increased.

61
00:04:28,416 --> 00:04:31,833
Selena Los Dinos Band
Currently building a music empire.

62
00:04:31,916 --> 00:04:32,875
After years of…

63
00:04:37,666 --> 00:04:41,750
- The fusion of the two cultures, Latin and American.
- “Selena”…

64
00:04:41,833 --> 00:04:43,666
Selena was loved by millions.

65
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:47,708
Selena was the first star
It actually succeeds in representing a bicultural society.

66
00:04:47,791 --> 00:04:51,166
She was destined to become "Selena."
A prominent figure in American entertainment.

67
00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:54,500
Her nature and personality
And what it means to the people in our country...

68
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,916
People of Houston, Texas!

69
00:04:59,708 --> 00:05:02,291
And our brothers from Mexico!

70
00:05:02,375 --> 00:05:03,750
What success is achieved?

71
00:05:03,833 --> 00:05:06,250
And everything going on around us is so exciting.

72
00:05:07,208 --> 00:05:09,500
But I hope the band will go global.

73
00:05:09,583 --> 00:05:11,375
Let's hear some cheering!

74
00:05:11,458 --> 00:05:13,375
I hope the band becomes internationally famous.

75
00:05:14,541 --> 00:05:16,125
But with more enthusiasm!

76
00:05:16,208 --> 00:05:18,625
We will have to work a lot,
But I'm ready for it.

77
00:05:18,708 --> 00:05:20,000
I'm ready for it.

78
00:05:25,416 --> 00:05:31,708
"Selena Los Dinos Band"

79
00:05:44,958 --> 00:05:48,875
I've always said that music
Similar to drug addiction.

80
00:05:48,958 --> 00:05:50,458
The person is addicted to it.

81
00:05:50,541 --> 00:05:52,916
And as soon as you can,

82
00:05:54,083 --> 00:05:56,125
It will remain a part of you as long as you live.

83
00:05:56,208 --> 00:05:59,208
"Abraham Quintanilla Jr."

84
00:05:59,291 --> 00:06:01,250
I am Abraham Quintanilla Jr.

85
00:06:01,875 --> 00:06:03,375
Here comes my family.

86
00:06:04,416 --> 00:06:06,416
This is my beautiful wife.

87
00:06:08,708 --> 00:06:10,041
Marcela Quintanilla.

88
00:06:10,541 --> 00:06:12,250
She's a little shy but...

89
00:06:14,125 --> 00:06:18,208
This is Selena Quintanilla, the youngest.
They're little coyotes.

90
00:06:18,958 --> 00:06:20,416
And Suzette Quintanilla,

91
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:23,375
And my son, AB, Abraham III.

92
00:06:24,416 --> 00:06:26,125
When I first met him,

93
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,166
I didn't know he was a singer.

94
00:06:31,250 --> 00:06:33,541
(Marcela Quintanilla)

95
00:06:34,458 --> 00:06:37,250
I didn't know until after I got married.

96
00:06:38,583 --> 00:06:41,958
When I was about 15 years old,

97
00:06:42,041 --> 00:06:45,375
I joined a band called Dinos.

98
00:06:45,458 --> 00:06:49,833
We had recorded all the songs in English.

99
00:06:50,333 --> 00:06:52,666
We didn't know a single Spanish song.

100
00:06:53,166 --> 00:06:55,125
And it was kind of embarrassing.

101
00:06:55,208 --> 00:06:58,250
Because my first language is Spanish,

102
00:06:58,333 --> 00:06:59,791
Even though I was born here.

103
00:07:01,041 --> 00:07:04,291
I grew up in an era of apartheid.

104
00:07:04,375 --> 00:07:05,833
We are a group of people who feel

105
00:07:05,916 --> 00:07:07,000
"A pool for white people"

106
00:07:07,083 --> 00:07:09,291
That we are treated
As if we are second-class citizens.

107
00:07:09,375 --> 00:07:10,375
We would like to be…

108
00:07:10,458 --> 00:07:11,625
"No to Mexicans"

109
00:07:11,708 --> 00:07:14,125
I remember it was scheduled
To sing in an amusement park.

110
00:07:14,208 --> 00:07:16,500
A nightclub owned by a white man,

111
00:07:16,583 --> 00:07:18,916
Then a group of Mexicans entered.

112
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,291
The man was surprised.

113
00:07:20,375 --> 00:07:23,166
He said, "Hey, why did you come here?"

114
00:07:23,750 --> 00:07:25,791
So we told him, "We're the Dinos band."

115
00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:29,750
He thought "Dinos" was the name of an Italian band
Or something.

116
00:07:30,250 --> 00:07:32,708
And he said to us, "Can you wait outside?"

117
00:07:32,791 --> 00:07:34,958
Then he gave me a check for five dollars.

118
00:07:35,875 --> 00:07:38,708
We were rejected because we were Mexican.

119
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:42,583
I realized that if we wanted to achieve success,

120
00:07:43,083 --> 00:07:46,541
We'll have to start singing
In front of Americans of Mexican descent.

121
00:07:46,625 --> 00:07:49,708
And then we completely switched to Tejano music.

122
00:07:49,791 --> 00:07:52,291
"Dinos Band"

123
00:07:52,375 --> 00:07:55,125
"Los Dinos"

124
00:07:56,541 --> 00:08:00,000
As the band's popularity increased,
We sang everywhere,

125
00:08:00,083 --> 00:08:02,125
All over the United States.

126
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,666
She gave birth to little AB,
Abraham continued his artistic tours.

127
00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:10,625
He was gone for a week,
Sometimes for two weeks and sometimes for a whole month.

128
00:08:11,166 --> 00:08:12,250
The situation was very difficult.

129
00:08:13,166 --> 00:08:14,500
When Suzette was born,

130
00:08:14,583 --> 00:08:17,958
He took me to the hospital, then had to see me off

131
00:08:18,041 --> 00:08:21,125
Because he was related to giving a concert.

132
00:08:21,208 --> 00:08:25,458
In fact, I would come home sometimes,
AP doesn't know me.

133
00:08:25,958 --> 00:08:27,708
I found that he was afraid of me.

134
00:08:27,791 --> 00:08:30,750
Then I started thinking and said,

135
00:08:31,583 --> 00:08:32,875
“I should quit this job.”

136
00:08:33,541 --> 00:08:35,250
"Dow Chemical Company Presents"

137
00:08:35,333 --> 00:08:38,833
Ethylene, energy and lime kilns
Magnesium and bromine.

138
00:08:38,916 --> 00:08:42,583
Then I left the band and moved on
To Lake Jackson, Texas.

139
00:08:42,666 --> 00:08:44,833
I started working at Dow Chemical Company.

140
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:49,833
It was hard because I couldn't accept

141
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,166
That this is my life from now on.

142
00:08:52,708 --> 00:08:56,875
"Lake Jackson"

143
00:08:57,708 --> 00:09:01,500
"1971"

144
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:04,083
After a few years,

145
00:09:04,166 --> 00:09:08,625
Marcela felt something in her body.

146
00:09:08,708 --> 00:09:09,916
Women know.

147
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,208
She was pregnant.

148
00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:14,958
A little girl was born,
But we had not chosen a name for it.

149
00:09:15,041 --> 00:09:18,416
There was a woman in the hospital
She said to Marcela,

150
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:22,541
“If I had a baby girl, I would choose the name Selena.”

151
00:09:22,625 --> 00:09:26,291
I said, "I like that name."
It is not common among Mexicans.

152
00:09:26,875 --> 00:09:27,875
I searched for the name.

153
00:09:27,958 --> 00:09:29,333
It's a Greek name,

154
00:09:29,416 --> 00:09:32,041
It means goddess of the moon.

155
00:09:32,875 --> 00:09:36,291
I was coming home
Before Marcella prepares dinner.

156
00:09:36,375 --> 00:09:39,500
And I start strumming the guitar strings.

157
00:09:39,583 --> 00:09:42,583
And one day,
When Selena was six years old,

158
00:09:42,666 --> 00:09:45,083
She sat next to me and started singing.

159
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:49,000
And then I found out,
And I said, "Girl, you're a talented singer."

160
00:09:49,083 --> 00:09:49,958
Four.

161
00:10:04,375 --> 00:10:06,625
It was her talent

162
00:10:06,708 --> 00:10:09,000
Amazing.

163
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:11,625
Even at a very young age.

164
00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:21,875
I went and bought some musical instruments.

165
00:10:22,375 --> 00:10:24,666
And I bought a bass guitar for my son, AB.

166
00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:26,625
I was carrying him and putting on the tie,

167
00:10:26,708 --> 00:10:30,125
And I pick up the bass guitar and look in the mirror.

168
00:10:30,208 --> 00:10:33,000
And I say, "Yes. You're going to be a rock star."

169
00:10:33,083 --> 00:10:34,541
One day you'll be a rock star."

170
00:10:34,625 --> 00:10:37,541
"(AP Quintanilla)"

171
00:10:37,625 --> 00:10:41,666
They started wondering, "Who's going to play the drums?"

172
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:46,041
And I remember my father said,
"We only have one daughter left!"

173
00:10:46,125 --> 00:10:48,916
Then he looked at me and said, "Suzette's going to play the drums."

174
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,041
She looked at him and asked, “Wait, what?

175
00:10:51,125 --> 00:10:54,166
No, Dad, no.”

176
00:10:54,250 --> 00:10:55,375
They brought a drummer.

177
00:10:55,458 --> 00:10:56,291
(Suzette Quintanilla)

178
00:10:56,375 --> 00:10:57,791
The drummer must be smiling!

179
00:10:59,708 --> 00:11:00,708
Okay.

180
00:11:00,791 --> 00:11:04,333
And so we had a guitar player
Drummer and singer.

181
00:11:04,833 --> 00:11:05,791
I have a full band.

182
00:11:07,916 --> 00:11:10,708
In childhood,
We want to go out and play and socialize with friends.

183
00:11:10,791 --> 00:11:15,750
My father called us every day
Let's practice just 15 minutes a day.

184
00:11:15,833 --> 00:11:18,916
We were screaming and shouting. I mean, we were crying.

185
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:28,750
It wasn't easy.

186
00:11:29,916 --> 00:11:30,875
I was strict.

187
00:11:31,875 --> 00:11:33,083
You will learn.

188
00:11:33,583 --> 00:11:36,375
I saw a way back into the music world.

189
00:11:37,416 --> 00:11:40,083
And then I went back to making plans.

190
00:11:42,041 --> 00:11:44,708
We had no experience in the restaurant business.

191
00:11:45,333 --> 00:11:48,375
When we got this restaurant, it was a big place.

192
00:11:49,291 --> 00:11:51,958
When we opened the restaurant, I was excited.

193
00:11:52,625 --> 00:11:54,041
It was something different.

194
00:11:54,125 --> 00:11:58,208
I made a little dance floor and a little stage.

195
00:11:58,291 --> 00:12:00,333
And here my children started playing.

196
00:12:00,416 --> 00:12:03,791
People would come and dance
On the small dance floor.

197
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:07,250
I think he saw potential in us.

198
00:12:07,333 --> 00:12:11,166
For example, “The Jackson Brothers are on the scene.

199
00:12:11,666 --> 00:12:14,125
I can make the Mexican version
From the Jackson brothers.

200
00:12:14,208 --> 00:12:16,083
I was in middle school.

201
00:12:16,166 --> 00:12:19,583
My father used to say we would play
On weekends, it's very embarrassing.

202
00:12:19,666 --> 00:12:22,541
Selena loved that
Because they were giving her whiffs.

203
00:12:22,625 --> 00:12:25,500
And you say, "Oh my God."

204
00:12:26,625 --> 00:12:28,416
It's hard work.

205
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:31,291
But I find it fascinating.

206
00:12:32,291 --> 00:12:35,458
It was a wonderful time in our lives.

207
00:12:36,083 --> 00:12:40,791
Unfortunately, they stopped exploring for oil,

208
00:12:40,875 --> 00:12:43,541
The economy collapsed in that region.

209
00:12:44,958 --> 00:12:45,875
Which stopped everything.

210
00:12:45,958 --> 00:12:48,750
Low oil price
This means that exploration does not compensate for its cost,

211
00:12:48,833 --> 00:12:51,458
Which means that the oil trade and its workers

212
00:12:51,541 --> 00:12:54,500
They are heading towards a long and devastating financial crisis.

213
00:12:54,583 --> 00:12:58,375
We held on and tried not to lose our restaurant.

214
00:12:58,458 --> 00:13:02,083
Then we had to close it.

215
00:13:02,875 --> 00:13:07,000
Of course, this affected our home as well.

216
00:13:07,083 --> 00:13:08,833
We would have lost our house too.

217
00:13:09,875 --> 00:13:13,750
In the end, we had to leave the house.

218
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:18,833
I had invested all my money in the restaurant,
And I became broke.

219
00:13:20,791 --> 00:13:25,625
“We have to go,” said Marcela
To receive government subsidized food vouchers.

220
00:13:26,458 --> 00:13:29,833
We went there and entered,
We found the place crowded.

221
00:13:30,333 --> 00:13:34,625
There was a huge old woman,
She saw Selena as soon as we entered.

222
00:13:34,708 --> 00:13:38,208
She said, “Look, it's the baby
"The one who sings in the restaurant."

223
00:13:38,291 --> 00:13:40,666
And when she said that, she stopped,

224
00:13:40,750 --> 00:13:42,583
And I said, "I think we're in the wrong place."

225
00:13:42,666 --> 00:13:44,583
I turned on my heel and left.

226
00:13:44,666 --> 00:13:46,958
I said, "I'm not going back there."

227
00:13:47,041 --> 00:13:49,041
"Report here, find work"

228
00:13:49,125 --> 00:13:53,166
The next trick up Abraham's sleeve.
It was the move to Corpus.

229
00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:56,875
And living with my uncle Hector.

230
00:13:59,541 --> 00:14:03,666
We were 13 people living in one house,

231
00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:06,250
Which is crazy when you think about it.

232
00:14:06,333 --> 00:14:09,041
It was a very difficult time. I remember that period.

233
00:14:09,125 --> 00:14:12,208
We could hear our mother and father talking
In the next room.

234
00:14:12,291 --> 00:14:15,833
Children know when their parents are under stress.

235
00:14:16,958 --> 00:14:18,875
We lost everything.

236
00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:21,708
For a long time, we were facing extreme difficulty

237
00:14:21,791 --> 00:14:23,291
Providing food for the family.

238
00:14:24,250 --> 00:14:26,125
It was a difficult time.

239
00:14:26,208 --> 00:14:28,666
I won't deny it.

240
00:14:28,750 --> 00:14:30,583
I couldn't find a job here.

241
00:14:31,166 --> 00:14:32,583
So I said to my wife, Marcella,

242
00:14:32,666 --> 00:14:35,250
“Listen, I'm not good at anything else but music.

243
00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:36,666
So I will look for opportunities to perform.”

244
00:14:38,250 --> 00:14:43,625
"1981"

245
00:14:44,583 --> 00:14:48,500
I think my father lived homeless when he was young.

246
00:14:49,208 --> 00:14:51,166
He did not give us that life.

247
00:14:56,541 --> 00:14:59,416
My children were good at their presentations.

248
00:15:00,458 --> 00:15:02,041
People enjoyed it very much.

249
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:05,958
That's how I knew they had it

250
00:15:06,041 --> 00:15:07,916
An additional advantage they have.

251
00:15:09,041 --> 00:15:13,500
Selena was an additional attraction.

252
00:15:13,583 --> 00:15:14,791
She was the star of the show.

253
00:15:23,083 --> 00:15:24,500
Thanks.

254
00:15:24,583 --> 00:15:27,458
Hello, Abraham III.

255
00:15:27,541 --> 00:15:28,791
How are you, son?

256
00:15:30,208 --> 00:15:32,166
What do you think about the reunion?

257
00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:34,000
It's nice.

258
00:15:34,625 --> 00:15:38,125
Do you intend to give us a musical performance?

259
00:15:38,208 --> 00:15:40,208
Yes, we will try.

260
00:15:40,291 --> 00:15:43,125
-Do you enjoy this work?
- Yes.

261
00:15:44,791 --> 00:15:47,083
I find it an interesting hobby.

262
00:15:47,166 --> 00:15:48,750
Well, thank you very much.

263
00:15:48,833 --> 00:15:53,166
We also have Suzette Quintanilla.

264
00:15:53,250 --> 00:15:55,375
Do you want to say something, Suzette?

265
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,708
- No.
- You didn't say anything, Suzette.

266
00:15:59,791 --> 00:16:01,583
I just laughed.

267
00:16:03,375 --> 00:16:05,291
Now we'll talk to Selena.

268
00:16:05,375 --> 00:16:07,333
Which side are you in, Selena?

269
00:16:07,416 --> 00:16:08,291
Fifth.

270
00:16:10,166 --> 00:16:11,166
Okay.

271
00:16:11,250 --> 00:16:16,083
Also tell me how old you are
Why do you like playing in the band?

272
00:16:17,666 --> 00:16:22,541
I'm 10, and the reason I love playing in the band
It brings a lot of money.

273
00:16:23,250 --> 00:16:24,541
Really?

274
00:16:25,041 --> 00:16:26,500
Do you make a lot of money?

275
00:16:26,583 --> 00:16:27,583
Yes.

276
00:16:28,083 --> 00:16:29,208
Excellent.

277
00:16:30,458 --> 00:16:33,208
Will you sing for us now? Soon?

278
00:16:33,708 --> 00:16:34,708
Yes.

279
00:16:47,041 --> 00:16:50,916
My father insisted that we learn
Lots of traditional Mexican songs

280
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,916
And Spanish songs, which are calm songs.

281
00:16:55,666 --> 00:16:59,916
And at that time, I didn't understand.

282
00:17:00,416 --> 00:17:05,291
I had no connection with my Latin roots
At all.

283
00:17:05,375 --> 00:17:06,750
"track racing at jackson lake"

284
00:17:06,833 --> 00:17:08,250
From their childhood,

285
00:17:08,333 --> 00:17:11,333
They learned not to speak any language but English.

286
00:17:11,416 --> 00:17:14,375
We didn't talk...
We barely spoke Spanish at home.

287
00:17:15,291 --> 00:17:17,458
Where we grew up, in Jackson Lake,

288
00:17:17,541 --> 00:17:21,083
There was not a large community
For Americans of Mexican descent.

289
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:25,958
"Corpus" is different,
Since everyone speaks Spanish.

290
00:17:26,041 --> 00:17:28,458
I didn't even understand what they were saying.

291
00:17:28,541 --> 00:17:31,916
We hadn't heard anything
In Spanish up to that point.

292
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,958
We loved English-speaking bands
Like "Taste of Honey"

293
00:17:35,041 --> 00:17:37,541
"Eagles", "Men at Work" and "Duran Duran".

294
00:17:37,625 --> 00:17:40,208
Van Halen was the most popular band.

295
00:17:45,375 --> 00:17:48,500
All these wonderful songs,
This is what I want to play.

296
00:17:49,875 --> 00:17:52,208
But my father thought it would be useful

297
00:17:52,291 --> 00:17:56,458
We try to provide more
Spanish songs, Tejano music.

298
00:17:56,541 --> 00:17:58,875
"Tejano" means music
From this part of the country,

299
00:17:58,958 --> 00:18:00,750
American Southwest.

300
00:18:00,833 --> 00:18:03,750
A mixture of Mexican cumbia and polka dance,

301
00:18:03,833 --> 00:18:05,291
And lyrical colors like that,

302
00:18:05,375 --> 00:18:07,041
Mixed with rock elements
Like pop and country music.

303
00:18:07,125 --> 00:18:08,500
"(Ramiro Per),
"San Antonio Express-News"

304
00:18:08,583 --> 00:18:11,333
This is what Tejano music consists of.
As we know it today.

305
00:18:17,791 --> 00:18:20,833
There is no escaping the fact that we are Mexicans.

306
00:18:21,416 --> 00:18:24,333
I was born here on the American side of the border,
But we are Mexicans.

307
00:18:25,291 --> 00:18:29,916
We are surrounded by this kind of music
Everywhere we go here in Texas.

308
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,125
And if you can make some money from it,
It becomes a project.

309
00:18:33,208 --> 00:18:37,833
"Selena Los Dinos Band"

310
00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:49,208
I didn't have a decision when I started.

311
00:18:49,791 --> 00:18:52,291
Usually my father has to approve all the songs.

312
00:18:52,375 --> 00:18:54,708
He decided that we would perform Tejano music.

313
00:19:02,041 --> 00:19:05,583
I remember wondering,
“Why do we adopt Tejano music?”

314
00:19:05,666 --> 00:19:09,791
My father summarized the answer by saying:

315
00:19:09,875 --> 00:19:12,541
“Because we can make more money
Of this color,

316
00:19:12,625 --> 00:19:15,541
We can offer more
Of shows and parties.”

317
00:19:16,791 --> 00:19:18,875
And that was the plan.

318
00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:23,000
We will try to provide more
From Tejano music performances.

319
00:19:23,083 --> 00:19:25,083
So we started our activity again,

320
00:19:25,166 --> 00:19:28,958
And we looked for musicians
To rebuild the Dinos squad.

321
00:19:30,333 --> 00:19:33,708
When they came to me in 1983, I didn't know them.

322
00:19:33,791 --> 00:19:36,375
(Ricky Villa)

323
00:19:36,458 --> 00:19:37,958
The pay wasn't great at first.

324
00:19:38,041 --> 00:19:42,208
But I was 21 years old
I still live in my parents' house.

325
00:19:46,208 --> 00:19:49,458
Selena was 12 years old at the time.

326
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,958
Suzette was 16, I think.

327
00:19:52,666 --> 00:19:54,125
The brothers were still children.

328
00:20:05,041 --> 00:20:08,375
I remember when we first met Ricky,

329
00:20:08,458 --> 00:20:11,750
Neither his impression of the band nor of us was good.

330
00:20:11,833 --> 00:20:16,583
When we started training,
Suzette and Selena were joking.

331
00:20:16,666 --> 00:20:19,458
I remember we were at the Boys and Girls Club,

332
00:20:19,541 --> 00:20:23,458
Selena and I ran around
And we play foolishly.

333
00:20:24,458 --> 00:20:25,791
We were very young.

334
00:20:26,375 --> 00:20:29,500
My father was screaming while we were fighting.

335
00:20:29,583 --> 00:20:31,708
So, I'm sure we were exhausted.

336
00:20:31,791 --> 00:20:33,416
Can you perform this move?

337
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:36,333
Isn't this the same shirt?
What were you wearing yesterday?

338
00:20:36,416 --> 00:20:37,416
What's the problem?

339
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:40,833
- This is disgusting. You are disgusting.
-You wore this a week ago and didn't wash it.

340
00:20:40,916 --> 00:20:42,583
Rather, I washed it!

341
00:20:42,666 --> 00:20:45,041
Do you wash your underwear every day?

342
00:20:45,125 --> 00:20:46,166
No…

343
00:20:47,583 --> 00:20:49,125
I wear different clothes every day.

344
00:20:49,208 --> 00:20:51,750
She wears brown underwear
So you don't have to change it.

345
00:20:51,833 --> 00:20:52,916
Stop.

346
00:20:55,083 --> 00:20:58,166
- I'm tired.
- Come here, my dear!

347
00:20:59,750 --> 00:21:03,458
"1985"

348
00:21:12,416 --> 00:21:14,250
We started traveling a lot.

349
00:21:14,958 --> 00:21:18,458
We performed shows on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

350
00:21:18,541 --> 00:21:24,625
So Selena was absent.
Missed school a lot due to fatigue.

351
00:21:24,708 --> 00:21:27,083
How do you keep up with your schoolwork?

352
00:21:28,166 --> 00:21:30,250
I can't say I'm not in school.

353
00:21:30,333 --> 00:21:33,041
I'm still in school,
But I don't go to public school.

354
00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:35,875
I get my homework from Chicago.

355
00:21:35,958 --> 00:21:38,208
I have an American school. I will graduate through it.

356
00:21:38,291 --> 00:21:39,416
I don't have a teacher.

357
00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:43,041
I do all my homework myself. And send it via mail.

358
00:21:43,125 --> 00:21:45,083
How do you feel about that? Is this better?

359
00:21:45,166 --> 00:21:48,375
Or do you like it?
Or would you rather go back to school?

360
00:21:48,458 --> 00:21:51,666
I miss going to school
Because I don't see my friends like before.

361
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:55,000
But I think this situation is better
Because this reduces distractions

362
00:21:55,083 --> 00:21:57,625
As it would have happened if I was in school.

363
00:21:57,708 --> 00:21:58,833
Know how the situation is.

364
00:22:00,833 --> 00:22:03,750
Well, how do your friends treat you?

365
00:22:05,250 --> 00:22:07,875
I won't lie.
I don't have many friends who...

366
00:22:07,958 --> 00:22:10,791
I don't go out much,
I don't go to theaters or anything like that.

367
00:22:10,875 --> 00:22:14,208
What I do is mostly with my family, and…

368
00:22:15,375 --> 00:22:17,958
Again, I have a lot of friends,
But they are in school.

369
00:22:18,041 --> 00:22:20,375
But because I don't go to school, I don't see them.

370
00:22:20,458 --> 00:22:23,125
And I kind of lost touch with them, so…

371
00:22:23,625 --> 00:22:26,416
When I was in school,
They treated me very kindly.

372
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,958
Music is a business, right?

373
00:22:29,041 --> 00:22:30,291
Yes.

374
00:22:30,375 --> 00:22:32,250
I consider it a business.

375
00:22:32,333 --> 00:22:33,458
I get paid for it.

376
00:22:33,541 --> 00:22:36,333
No one in our family has a job.

377
00:22:36,416 --> 00:22:38,208
We make our living from it.

378
00:22:38,291 --> 00:22:41,458
That's why it means so much to us.

379
00:22:41,541 --> 00:22:44,333
The main reason,
The first reason we are in this field

380
00:22:44,416 --> 00:22:45,791
It is that we enjoy it.

381
00:22:45,875 --> 00:22:48,041
The second reason is that we earn our living from it.

382
00:23:05,291 --> 00:23:08,083
You have to sacrifice something in life in order to advance.

383
00:23:09,625 --> 00:23:14,291
I lost a great deal of my youth
Because I travel for music work with my family.

384
00:23:15,375 --> 00:23:17,083
For example, I can't play.

385
00:23:17,166 --> 00:23:19,041
I work all the time.

386
00:23:19,125 --> 00:23:22,041
At the same time,
We don't understand at that young age.

387
00:23:22,125 --> 00:23:24,125
But I look at life now and feel grateful

388
00:23:24,208 --> 00:23:26,583
Because my father made us start at such a young age.

389
00:23:33,125 --> 00:23:36,458
It takes someone who knows the field.

390
00:23:37,125 --> 00:23:39,208
He already had that experience.

391
00:23:39,291 --> 00:23:43,708
He knew what to do to take advantage of their talent.

392
00:23:44,791 --> 00:23:47,625
I took Selena with me and went to San Antonio.

393
00:23:48,583 --> 00:23:50,166
To "Kara" recordings.

394
00:23:50,666 --> 00:23:52,416
“Kara” means face.

395
00:23:53,541 --> 00:23:57,458
At first, they were skeptical because she was a girl.

396
00:23:57,541 --> 00:23:59,041
Plus it's small.

397
00:24:00,083 --> 00:24:03,291
I said, "Okay, let's try it once."

398
00:24:04,041 --> 00:24:05,625
And we recorded a song.

399
00:24:09,541 --> 00:24:12,875
When he heard the song, he said, “Listen!”

400
00:24:14,125 --> 00:24:15,583
“Bring me a necklace.”

401
00:24:16,458 --> 00:24:18,458
He hired Selena immediately.

402
00:24:24,416 --> 00:24:27,791
I was working for studio owner Manny Guerra.

403
00:24:28,291 --> 00:24:32,583
Selena was one of the first artists
who contracted with them.

404
00:24:34,708 --> 00:24:41,125
Thus was written the beginning of a long journey.

405
00:24:41,208 --> 00:24:44,375
"Brian Moore aka Red"

406
00:24:45,125 --> 00:24:49,666
I think it was the feature that made them different
In the first place was their youth.

407
00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:51,291
They were still just children.

408
00:24:51,375 --> 00:24:54,583
But great musicians
Who have been performing this music for years

409
00:24:54,666 --> 00:24:58,166
They weren't on the stage that Selena was on.
With her band.

410
00:24:58,250 --> 00:25:00,666
“These boys are so good at playing,” I thought.

411
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:02,000
These boys are brilliant.”

412
00:25:02,083 --> 00:25:03,958
Selena and the Dinos, nice name.

413
00:25:04,041 --> 00:25:06,541
Where did you get the name?
Selena Los Dinos?

414
00:25:06,625 --> 00:25:07,875
"Selena Los Dinos"?

415
00:25:07,958 --> 00:25:09,833
First off, "Selena" is my name.

416
00:25:09,916 --> 00:25:12,541
-Is that your real name?
- Yes. no

417
00:25:12,625 --> 00:25:14,500
-Is that your real name?
- Yes.

418
00:25:14,583 --> 00:25:15,708
What is it? "Sivayina"?

419
00:25:15,791 --> 00:25:18,083
- Then you changed it to "Selena"?
- No, it's Selena.

420
00:25:18,166 --> 00:25:21,458
And we added "Los Dinos" after the original band
"Dinos", which were my father's.

421
00:25:21,541 --> 00:25:23,041
He was the original singer.

422
00:25:23,125 --> 00:25:26,041
I knew you were busy with the band.
Do you tour in many cities?

423
00:25:26,125 --> 00:25:30,125
We produced this album, my first album, "Alpha,"
With Manny at GB Production Company.

424
00:25:30,208 --> 00:25:32,083
And things are getting a lot better.

425
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,541
After that album was released,
The name "Selena" began to gain popularity.

426
00:25:38,041 --> 00:25:41,583
She was creating a sensation in the music industry.

427
00:25:42,458 --> 00:25:48,208
I saw them flourish after they were coming
To the studio in an old blue Ford truck

428
00:25:48,291 --> 00:25:50,208
With a homemade trailer

429
00:25:50,875 --> 00:25:54,791
Their faces were pressed against the windows
From overheating.

430
00:25:54,875 --> 00:25:59,083
They would come and lie down on the studio floor

431
00:25:59,166 --> 00:26:00,916
Because it was air conditioned.

432
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,083
And that was the beginning.

433
00:26:02,166 --> 00:26:03,458
Do I look pretty enough?

434
00:26:04,666 --> 00:26:05,833
No.

435
00:26:05,916 --> 00:26:08,375
Did you put away the shoe box my shoes are in?

436
00:26:08,458 --> 00:26:10,375
Nope. I don't know. I hope I didn't post it.

437
00:26:10,458 --> 00:26:14,416
- It has my silver high-heeled shoes and...
- Susie, did you put her shoes in there?

438
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:16,916
What was the hardest thing for you?

439
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,291
In the past two or three years,
Because of all the attention?

440
00:26:22,250 --> 00:26:26,250
I think I had a lot of fun
I even forgot about the bad times.

441
00:26:26,333 --> 00:26:29,708
I don't think so...
In fact, all teams go through difficult times.

442
00:26:29,791 --> 00:26:31,541
But we had a lot of fun with our work.

443
00:26:31,625 --> 00:26:33,375
We enjoy what we do,

444
00:26:33,458 --> 00:26:36,375
I don't think we can remember the bad times.

445
00:26:37,041 --> 00:26:39,291
What is your ultimate goal?

446
00:26:39,375 --> 00:26:42,500
- Have you set an end goal?
- Mercedes Benz car.

447
00:26:47,875 --> 00:26:50,916
This is my goal. Everyone asks me what my goal is.
Mercedes Benz car.

448
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
I don't care if I live inside it.

449
00:26:59,083 --> 00:27:00,541
It was a great time.

450
00:27:01,083 --> 00:27:02,958
Our band was amazing.

451
00:27:03,041 --> 00:27:05,000
They were like family.

452
00:27:05,583 --> 00:27:07,875
Everyone was great.

453
00:27:08,416 --> 00:27:11,583
Everyone was calm. Everyone knew their roles.

454
00:27:14,250 --> 00:27:16,625
My husband and children,

455
00:27:17,333 --> 00:27:19,875
It was their primary role in the band.

456
00:27:20,833 --> 00:27:23,500
I stayed mostly behind the scenes.

457
00:27:23,583 --> 00:27:27,250
We have a mother, this is the role of mothers.

458
00:27:27,333 --> 00:27:29,041
She knits my pants.

459
00:27:29,125 --> 00:27:32,000
I was supporting my family.

460
00:27:32,083 --> 00:27:34,125
-Mom.
-Mom.

461
00:27:34,208 --> 00:27:36,291
Especially if they paid $20 for it.

462
00:27:36,375 --> 00:27:38,041
I was just kidding.

463
00:27:38,125 --> 00:27:40,333
And I remember there was a concert outside,

464
00:27:40,416 --> 00:27:43,791
The zipper on Selena's pants was cut off.

465
00:27:44,375 --> 00:27:46,458
I had to sew the zipper.

466
00:27:47,083 --> 00:27:48,375
And I said,

467
00:27:48,458 --> 00:27:52,541
"You won't be able to go to the bathroom for a long time."

468
00:27:52,625 --> 00:27:54,625
Because she had to sing.

469
00:27:54,708 --> 00:27:56,958
We used to laugh about that.

470
00:28:00,416 --> 00:28:01,875
It was a fun time.

471
00:28:02,708 --> 00:28:04,791
The whole family travels together.

472
00:28:06,166 --> 00:28:09,333
I no longer travel with a group of musicians.

473
00:28:10,291 --> 00:28:11,833
Rather, I was with my family.

474
00:28:13,333 --> 00:28:16,041
I went and bought an old bus.

475
00:28:17,250 --> 00:28:21,208
But I spent half that time under it
Contaminated with grease.

476
00:28:21,291 --> 00:28:22,875
Because it was breaking down.

477
00:28:22,958 --> 00:28:25,791
"(Big Bertha)"

478
00:28:27,583 --> 00:28:30,875
Bertha did not have air conditioning.

479
00:28:30,958 --> 00:28:32,833
Only the top window was opened.

480
00:28:32,916 --> 00:28:35,625
So there is no air circulation.

481
00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:41,541
But owning a bus in that era was
Something special.

482
00:28:41,625 --> 00:28:44,625
If you own a bus, you're destined for success.

483
00:28:44,708 --> 00:28:46,958
And we owned a bus.
Which means that success is destined for us.

484
00:28:47,041 --> 00:28:48,458
At least, we thought so.

485
00:28:52,250 --> 00:28:53,458
How did it go?

486
00:28:57,583 --> 00:28:59,291
I fall asleep when we start driving.

487
00:28:59,375 --> 00:29:01,166
So I feel hyperactive after dancing.

488
00:29:01,250 --> 00:29:05,583
I get more energetic because of eating sweets
Soft drinks and everything.

489
00:29:05,666 --> 00:29:08,250
Other groups stay up late
For playing cards etc.

490
00:29:08,333 --> 00:29:11,708
But on the road, during the day,
Once everyone gets on the bus,

491
00:29:11,791 --> 00:29:13,041
They were sleeping.

492
00:29:14,250 --> 00:29:18,541
My mother was sitting in the back, and we were talking

493
00:29:19,083 --> 00:29:22,625
About anything and everything,
What most mothers and daughters talk about.

494
00:29:22,708 --> 00:29:23,958
We were talking about food.

495
00:29:24,041 --> 00:29:26,791
We were talking about clothes.

496
00:29:26,875 --> 00:29:29,916
And if Selena was going to a show,

497
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,583
We were talking about what you're going to wear?

498
00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:40,916
She had tremendous creative vision.

499
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,166
It wasn't just her voice.

500
00:29:43,250 --> 00:29:47,333
Rather, the secret was in her presence and her influence on the attendees.

501
00:29:47,416 --> 00:29:50,833
Hence it was the main focus
On what you wear.

502
00:29:58,708 --> 00:30:02,625
The truth of the matter is, if I interview you later...

503
00:30:02,708 --> 00:30:04,833
You will change your clothes now

504
00:30:04,916 --> 00:30:07,625
And you will wear more fashions...

505
00:30:07,708 --> 00:30:09,333
- Dress up.
-More elegant, isn't it?

506
00:30:09,416 --> 00:30:11,958
These suits of yours, you made them, right?

507
00:30:12,041 --> 00:30:13,875
It's all white, right?

508
00:30:13,958 --> 00:30:17,041
And then, how did you do it? How did you draw on it?

509
00:30:17,125 --> 00:30:18,083
With paint.

510
00:30:18,166 --> 00:30:19,000
Yes, but…

511
00:30:19,083 --> 00:30:21,541
We sprayed it with permanent paint, phosphorescent paint.

512
00:30:21,625 --> 00:30:25,250
Well, for those of you listening in Mexico,

513
00:30:25,333 --> 00:30:27,583
How will they know how you do it?

514
00:30:27,666 --> 00:30:29,375
They colored it.

515
00:30:31,083 --> 00:30:34,250
Unbelievable.

516
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:37,291
“They colored it.”

517
00:30:37,375 --> 00:30:38,291
We colored it.

518
00:30:38,375 --> 00:30:39,291
We colored it.

519
00:30:39,375 --> 00:30:42,666
To speak this way in English...

520
00:30:42,750 --> 00:30:43,583
No.

521
00:30:43,666 --> 00:30:45,625
No, I knew you would face some difficulties.

522
00:30:45,708 --> 00:30:51,041
I told Mr. Rayas that there were boys
They don't speak Spanish fluently,

523
00:30:51,125 --> 00:30:53,125
So I will interview them in English.

524
00:30:53,208 --> 00:30:54,916
But I'll translate, okay?

525
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:55,833
Okay.

526
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:57,500
How did they color it?

527
00:30:58,125 --> 00:30:59,375
Is this better?

528
00:30:59,458 --> 00:31:00,458
Yes, much better.

529
00:31:00,541 --> 00:31:01,791
You didn't say anything.

530
00:31:01,875 --> 00:31:04,083
Because you hold the reins of the conversation alone.

531
00:31:04,166 --> 00:31:07,958
I know when I remember that period
She was the face of the band,

532
00:31:08,041 --> 00:31:10,666
So there was a lot of pressure on her

533
00:31:10,750 --> 00:31:12,541
Whenever it's time for interviews,

534
00:31:12,625 --> 00:31:14,375
Especially in Spanish.

535
00:31:14,875 --> 00:31:17,333
It was a difficult step for the press

536
00:31:17,416 --> 00:31:19,583
To accept our lack of proficiency in Spanish.

537
00:31:19,666 --> 00:31:22,833
Among the obstacles we faced
Not knowing if they would accept us.

538
00:31:27,083 --> 00:31:32,583
Selena recognized it immediately
She needs to speak Spanish fluently.

539
00:31:32,666 --> 00:31:36,916
She realized she had to learn the language
To pass the public barrier with us.

540
00:31:37,625 --> 00:31:40,666
She wanted to be prepared for interviews.

541
00:31:41,541 --> 00:31:43,166
I worked very hard.

542
00:31:43,708 --> 00:31:48,000
My father started teaching us Spanish songs
And the meanings of words.

543
00:31:48,083 --> 00:31:50,583
We wished we had grown up
To speak Spanish.

544
00:31:50,666 --> 00:31:52,958
We wished we were closer to our culture.

545
00:31:53,041 --> 00:31:54,875
The more you present, the better your performance gets.

546
00:31:54,958 --> 00:31:57,458
When I last saw you, you put on a great show.

547
00:31:57,541 --> 00:31:58,458
We congratulate you.

548
00:31:58,541 --> 00:32:02,125
This album that was released for you is entitled
“Million to One”, when was it released on the market?

549
00:32:02,208 --> 00:32:03,916
- Three weeks ago?
-Approx.

550
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,041
I feel the same. A while ago, I was always…

551
00:32:06,125 --> 00:32:08,625
They don't ask me questions
Because I don't know any details.

552
00:32:08,708 --> 00:32:11,875
I go and pack my bags and just sing.

553
00:32:11,958 --> 00:32:16,375
I started to notice that people were fascinated by Selena.

554
00:32:16,958 --> 00:32:20,250
Wherever she sings, all tickets are sold out.

555
00:32:26,166 --> 00:32:31,708
The news spread that Selena
It attracts the public to dance parties.

556
00:32:34,166 --> 00:32:37,250
We traveled all over the United States.

557
00:32:44,291 --> 00:32:46,375
It takes a lot of effort.

558
00:32:47,083 --> 00:32:48,916
Life is very hard on the road.

559
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,750
You can't say, "I'm going to be...they're going to be stars."

560
00:32:52,833 --> 00:32:55,875
No, there is a lot of work behind it.

561
00:32:55,958 --> 00:32:58,666
We welcome you to the fifth annual celebration
For the Tejano Music Awards.

562
00:33:03,041 --> 00:33:04,833
Mayor Henry Cisneros,
city of san antonio

563
00:33:04,916 --> 00:33:08,708
All I want to say is that as mayor,
I feel extremely happy and proud

564
00:33:08,791 --> 00:33:10,041
What this occasion represents.

565
00:33:10,125 --> 00:33:11,333
Every one of us,

566
00:33:11,416 --> 00:33:14,791
We are all Mexicans
Americans of Mexican descent,

567
00:33:14,875 --> 00:33:17,416
We support this great effort,

568
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:20,791
To celebrate the talents we have
In the Mexican American community.

569
00:33:20,875 --> 00:33:23,041
Chicano music is of Mexican origin.

570
00:33:23,125 --> 00:33:25,125
Congratulations to each and every one of you.

571
00:33:25,208 --> 00:33:26,041
Thanks.

572
00:33:27,083 --> 00:33:28,666
Tejano Music Awards

573
00:33:28,750 --> 00:33:32,291
It was a great awards ceremony
Because it celebrates our music.

574
00:33:32,375 --> 00:33:35,041
Nominees for this year's singing award...
From the year...

575
00:33:35,125 --> 00:33:36,666
"Selena Quintanilla."

576
00:33:36,750 --> 00:33:38,041
It was a wonderful moment.

577
00:33:38,125 --> 00:33:39,875
Here comes this little girl,

578
00:33:39,958 --> 00:33:43,416
She creates a sensation and is nominated for the first time.

579
00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:45,291
Are you ready?

580
00:33:45,916 --> 00:33:47,416
"Laura Canales!"

581
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:51,125
"Singing Award Winner (Laura Canales)"

582
00:33:51,208 --> 00:33:52,833
I didn't feel good about our music.

583
00:33:52,916 --> 00:33:55,458
I felt like we were recording normal songs,

584
00:33:55,541 --> 00:34:01,583
And I felt like we hadn't gotten there yet
On songs suitable for success in the markets.

585
00:34:01,666 --> 00:34:04,083
I felt like we were still at an impasse.

586
00:34:04,791 --> 00:34:07,041
Nominees for the Lyric Composition Award
For this year.

587
00:34:07,125 --> 00:34:10,333
At one point, there was a songwriter,

588
00:34:10,416 --> 00:34:12,708
He controlled the entire market.

589
00:34:12,791 --> 00:34:13,833
Everything.

590
00:34:13,916 --> 00:34:16,083
The winner is Luis Silva.

591
00:34:16,166 --> 00:34:17,458
"Best Lyricist"

592
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:20,000
I went and said, "Mr. Silva."

593
00:34:20,083 --> 00:34:21,291
Thanks.

594
00:34:21,375 --> 00:34:23,541
“I don't have that big hit song.

595
00:34:23,625 --> 00:34:26,083
I hope you can help me.”

596
00:34:26,166 --> 00:34:30,958
He replied, "Listen, come to my office on Monday,
And I'll give you two songs."

597
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:37,125
I excitedly told my father
And I told Selena and everyone.

598
00:34:37,208 --> 00:34:38,458
I said, “We found it.”

599
00:34:38,541 --> 00:34:41,416
We got the missing item,

600
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:43,625
The missing piece in our puzzle.”

601
00:34:45,166 --> 00:34:48,916
And on Wednesday night, his secretary called and said,

602
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,000
"Mr. Silva will not allow you."
Using these two songs.

603
00:34:52,083 --> 00:34:53,708
"He gave them to someone else."

604
00:34:55,125 --> 00:34:57,125
For the first time in my life, I had my own room.

605
00:34:57,208 --> 00:35:00,625
I had a sleeping bag,
So I zipped myself up in the sleeping bag,

606
00:35:00,708 --> 00:35:01,916
And I started crying.

607
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,541
I burst into tears because I was so frustrated.

608
00:35:09,125 --> 00:35:13,291
Dad said, "Listen, A.B."
(Luis Silva) musician.”

609
00:35:13,375 --> 00:35:15,333
I said, "Yes, I know."

610
00:35:15,916 --> 00:35:17,541
He said, “You're also a musician, right?”

611
00:35:17,625 --> 00:35:18,833
I replied, "Yes."

612
00:35:20,583 --> 00:35:24,958
He asked me, "What's stopping you?"
To be Luis Silva or better than him?

613
00:35:25,041 --> 00:35:26,375
What's stopping you?"

614
00:35:28,666 --> 00:35:30,708
Selena's first successful song.
It was "dam en peso".

615
00:35:30,791 --> 00:35:32,416
Its title is "Dame en Biso".

616
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:34,666
Huge success for Selena Los Dinos.

617
00:35:34,750 --> 00:35:37,958
From Corpus Christi, Texas.
Selena Los Dinos band.

618
00:35:38,041 --> 00:35:39,041
Let's listen to it.

619
00:35:39,541 --> 00:35:41,791
She wrote the song "Dam Un Biso".

620
00:35:41,875 --> 00:35:44,375
I was sitting with a pen and a stack of papers

621
00:35:44,458 --> 00:35:48,083
I carefully study musical styles
that the teams used,

622
00:35:48,166 --> 00:35:51,041
And the techniques and how they played and sang.

623
00:35:51,125 --> 00:35:53,875
From here, I came up with my own equation
That suits Selena.

624
00:35:54,458 --> 00:35:58,333
When you write a song,
There is usually what is called a "spot".

625
00:35:58,416 --> 00:36:00,250
It's a catchy little part in the song

626
00:36:00,333 --> 00:36:03,625
You must ensure its success and highlight it.

627
00:36:03,708 --> 00:36:05,666
And that little part of the song...

628
00:36:14,458 --> 00:36:17,708
We finally felt like we had found our own style,

629
00:36:17,791 --> 00:36:19,500
Our element of distinction.

630
00:36:20,458 --> 00:36:23,500
Our band had amazing musicians.

631
00:36:23,583 --> 00:36:27,041
And now we get the song we wanted
"Dam en peso."

632
00:36:27,916 --> 00:36:30,291
I told my dad, “We're number one.”

633
00:36:31,125 --> 00:36:32,166
And he said,

634
00:36:33,625 --> 00:36:35,000
"I'm happy for you."

635
00:36:35,083 --> 00:36:40,166
“Anyone can,” he said
To write the best and best-selling novel.

636
00:36:40,250 --> 00:36:41,791
And don't write anything after that.

637
00:36:41,875 --> 00:36:43,583
As you wrote the song.

638
00:36:43,666 --> 00:36:45,958
I congratulate you. Can you repeat that?"

639
00:36:46,750 --> 00:36:47,750
It struck me as…

640
00:36:48,333 --> 00:36:50,291
One, two, three, four!

641
00:36:54,458 --> 00:36:56,791
I cannot describe my feeling to you.

642
00:36:57,291 --> 00:37:01,416
I knew my goal and what I had to do
To get there.

643
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,250
And I pressed hard.

644
00:37:11,916 --> 00:37:14,041
I knew AB had that talent.

645
00:37:14,125 --> 00:37:17,291
I could see that from a young age.

646
00:37:17,375 --> 00:37:20,416
But one does not want to achieve a miracle
For once in his life.

647
00:37:20,916 --> 00:37:25,333
A lot of writers write one song
We don't hear about them after that.

648
00:37:26,458 --> 00:37:31,625
So in order to stay on top,
You should present hit songs, not just one.

649
00:37:35,833 --> 00:37:37,583
If it weren't for my father,

650
00:37:37,666 --> 00:37:41,791
And show this aspect
Of the beauty of musical composition,

651
00:37:41,875 --> 00:37:46,125
I have never achieved everything I have ever achieved.

652
00:37:49,333 --> 00:37:53,166
The coolest thing about it
Our success has never been limited to just one person.

653
00:37:53,833 --> 00:37:56,625
We were working as an integrated unit,

654
00:37:56,708 --> 00:37:59,625
I think this is what gave us this influential power.

655
00:38:00,125 --> 00:38:02,625
Behind "Selena" was a team
Very dangerous.

656
00:38:02,708 --> 00:38:04,375
Behind her stood a fierce team.

657
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,208
"1987"

658
00:38:16,291 --> 00:38:18,333
The people of Texas have cast their votes.

659
00:38:18,416 --> 00:38:21,000
- “Selena Quintanilla.”
- “Selena Quintanilla.”

660
00:38:26,041 --> 00:38:28,166
"Best Female Singer of the Year (Selena Quintanilla)"

661
00:38:28,250 --> 00:38:31,583
I would like to thank you all

662
00:38:31,666 --> 00:38:35,083
In Texas, which supported us,
We are Selena Los Dinos.

663
00:38:35,625 --> 00:38:39,500
Also, I would like to thank our producer, Manny Guerra,
From GB Production Company.

664
00:38:39,583 --> 00:38:41,416
He helped us a lot.

665
00:38:42,291 --> 00:38:44,958
Most of all, I would like to thank you

666
00:38:45,041 --> 00:38:48,875
To Los Dinos, because without them,

667
00:38:48,958 --> 00:38:50,541
I don't think I will exist.

668
00:38:50,625 --> 00:38:53,500
And when I win, they win.

669
00:38:53,583 --> 00:38:55,916
When they lose, I deny knowing them.

670
00:38:58,333 --> 00:38:59,166
Thanks!

671
00:38:59,250 --> 00:39:00,416
Hello!

672
00:39:01,416 --> 00:39:02,916
Are you kidding?

673
00:39:03,875 --> 00:39:05,583
- Before…
- Hello, Josie.

674
00:39:05,666 --> 00:39:09,291
I know I sound corny now,
But that's what I always wear.

675
00:39:09,375 --> 00:39:10,875
Let's go.

676
00:39:10,958 --> 00:39:12,208
This is my room.

677
00:39:12,291 --> 00:39:16,083
It looks empty because I'm kind of reformatting it.

678
00:39:16,166 --> 00:39:18,000
But I want to show you the prizes.

679
00:39:18,583 --> 00:39:19,541
Come on.

680
00:39:21,833 --> 00:39:23,875
These are our prizes!

681
00:39:24,708 --> 00:39:27,833
Selena received this award this year

682
00:39:27,916 --> 00:39:30,708
Best singer in West Texas.

683
00:39:30,791 --> 00:39:34,250
I got this award

684
00:39:35,375 --> 00:39:37,833
Best singer here in Corpus.

685
00:39:38,333 --> 00:39:40,208
We won these three awards.

686
00:39:40,833 --> 00:39:43,666
Now I'll show you our grand prize.

687
00:39:44,208 --> 00:39:45,041
Here it is.

688
00:39:48,875 --> 00:39:51,291
Selena got this for Best Female Vocalist.

689
00:39:52,375 --> 00:39:53,875
She seems to be good at singing.

690
00:39:56,708 --> 00:40:02,708
"The Johnny Canales Program,"
(Matamoros), (Mexico)"

691
00:40:04,208 --> 00:40:08,458
Meanwhile, Selena was making tremendous progress
In the American Tejano music market,

692
00:40:08,958 --> 00:40:12,583
She was starting to make a fuss
South of the Mexican border.

693
00:40:16,666 --> 00:40:19,166
Selena's concerts were sold out.

694
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:21,375
All over the United States.

695
00:40:21,458 --> 00:40:23,916
But we are of Mexican origin,

696
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,666
And I wanted to take a chance on the Mexican side.

697
00:40:27,750 --> 00:40:30,500
We want to introduce you to a young woman

698
00:40:30,583 --> 00:40:32,833
She recently won the Best Female Singer award.

699
00:40:32,916 --> 00:40:37,208
Best Singer of 1986
In the United States.

700
00:40:37,291 --> 00:40:41,291
One of the rising youth teams.

701
00:40:41,375 --> 00:40:45,791
Ladies and gentlemen,
Here with you is Selena Los Dinos.

702
00:40:45,875 --> 00:40:47,208
From Corpus Christi, Texas.

703
00:40:47,291 --> 00:40:49,208
Start singing, Selena! Let's go

704
00:40:49,291 --> 00:40:50,375
Come on!

705
00:40:51,125 --> 00:40:52,250
It was scary.

706
00:40:53,291 --> 00:40:56,958
‫كان الأمر مخيفًا جدًا لأنه في تلك المرحلة،‬

707
00:40:57,041 --> 00:40:59,458
Selena was still learning Spanish,

708
00:40:59,541 --> 00:41:01,541
‫وأنا لم أكن أجيد الإسبانية على الإطلاق.‬

709
00:41:16,708 --> 00:41:19,250
‫لم نكن مُجهّزين لذلك الحشد.‬

710
00:41:19,333 --> 00:41:22,541
‫لذا كان شعورًا غريبًا جدًا.‬

711
00:41:23,083 --> 00:41:24,291
They didn't understand our songs.

712
00:41:25,250 --> 00:41:27,375
They applauded out of courtesy,

713
00:41:27,458 --> 00:41:31,250
‫لكنهم لم يُعجبوا بالعرض.‬

714
00:41:34,333 --> 00:41:39,666
‫ألّف هذه الأغنية عازف لوحة المفاتيح‬
Ricardo Vela.

715
00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:41,833
‫وأخي، "أبراهام كينتانيا"، على الغيتار.‬

716
00:41:41,916 --> 00:41:43,458
A song called "Dam O Biso"

717
00:41:43,541 --> 00:41:46,458
For everyone here tonight
‫مع فرقة "سيلينا لوس دينوس".‬

718
00:41:46,541 --> 00:41:48,208
To all the people of Matamoros!

719
00:41:48,875 --> 00:41:52,708
It was crazy
Because I felt that the Mexican public did not accept us

720
00:41:52,791 --> 00:41:55,041
Because we don't speak Spanish.

721
00:41:55,125 --> 00:41:57,208
It's like they're saying, "They think of themselves as Americans.

722
00:41:57,291 --> 00:41:58,916
They consider themselves white."

723
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,791
We wanted to say, “No, it's not...

724
00:42:00,875 --> 00:42:02,291
Hey, what are you talking about?"

725
00:42:29,625 --> 00:42:31,375
The audience was not enthusiastic.

726
00:42:31,958 --> 00:42:34,208
When they can't understand why you're attractive,
They don't respond.

727
00:42:35,666 --> 00:42:39,583
We felt like we were not left out in the Mexican market
That is the effect we were hoping for.

728
00:42:40,083 --> 00:42:42,375
We had a knot,

729
00:42:42,458 --> 00:42:44,166
A small inferiority complex.

730
00:42:45,083 --> 00:42:46,750
Fortunately, we had Pete with us.

731
00:42:46,833 --> 00:42:49,625
‫وُلدت ونشأت في "لاريدو"، "تكساس".‬

732
00:42:49,708 --> 00:42:52,250
"(Studio House)"

733
00:42:52,333 --> 00:42:55,750
The United States and Mexico meet
In one unique location,

734
00:42:55,833 --> 00:42:57,333
It's Laredo, Texas.

735
00:42:57,416 --> 00:43:00,083
‫وهكذا أحظى بميزة انتسابي إلى "أمريكا"،‬

736
00:43:00,166 --> 00:43:02,541
Plus having my Mexican heritage.

737
00:43:02,625 --> 00:43:07,708
"Selena: (Dinos)"

738
00:43:07,791 --> 00:43:09,291
“Studio house.”

739
00:43:09,375 --> 00:43:12,583
I brought this guy into the band
Because he speaks Spanish.

740
00:43:12,666 --> 00:43:16,666
‫بدأ يعلّمني التيارات المؤثّرة‬
Which he acquired from Laredo, Texas.

741
00:43:16,750 --> 00:43:18,625
At the same time,

742
00:43:18,708 --> 00:43:23,250
‫كان يتبادل الغناء مع "سيلينا" عند الحاجة‬
‫لأننا كنا نقدّم عرضنا أربع ليال أسبوعيًا.‬

743
00:43:23,333 --> 00:43:27,125
So I was asking him to come on stage,
And he was good at it.

744
00:43:36,166 --> 00:43:39,875
He wasn't just an accomplished performer.
Rather, he is an amazing lyricist.

745
00:43:40,875 --> 00:43:44,708
If it weren't for him being with us,
I didn't know anything about cumbia music.

746
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:49,708
Cumbia is a dance similar to salsa.

747
00:43:50,916 --> 00:43:52,625
Cumbia music has a very energetic beat.

748
00:43:52,708 --> 00:43:54,958
It's so cheerful. She is very happy.

749
00:43:57,625 --> 00:43:59,625
You hear its connection to the rhythm of the "Salsa" dance.

750
00:44:04,833 --> 00:44:09,000
And I knew that cumbia music
It is widely popular in Mexico.

751
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:11,625
Turns out we need a good cumbia piece

752
00:44:11,708 --> 00:44:14,708
To be popular with the Mexican public.

753
00:44:15,458 --> 00:44:18,333
He used to say to me, "AP."
“I want to perform a piece of this kind.”

754
00:44:18,416 --> 00:44:21,250
He would explain it in English and I would tell him,
“Cool, so?”

755
00:44:21,333 --> 00:44:22,333
And he says, "Yes, like this."

756
00:44:22,416 --> 00:44:24,791
We started a very harmonious joint work.

757
00:44:46,166 --> 00:44:49,833
"1989"

758
00:44:53,333 --> 00:44:54,833
I will be the director.

759
00:44:56,375 --> 00:44:58,666
Maybe, yes. You are doing well.

760
00:44:58,750 --> 00:45:01,708
Cut more of his hair at the top, please.

761
00:45:01,791 --> 00:45:02,916
"Selena!"

762
00:45:04,125 --> 00:45:07,625
What I learned about this field,

763
00:45:07,708 --> 00:45:10,625
If you are in the right place
In due time,

764
00:45:10,708 --> 00:45:11,750
Success may be achieved.

765
00:45:12,708 --> 00:45:16,208
Tejano Music Awards,
(San Antonio, (United States))

766
00:45:16,291 --> 00:45:20,000
By chance, Jose Behar.
From Capitol EMI Recordings

767
00:45:20,083 --> 00:45:21,458
Listen to the band.

768
00:45:22,166 --> 00:45:26,541
“We heard the band,” he said.
We want to do joint work with you.”

769
00:45:28,375 --> 00:45:30,791
And then we signed the contract.

770
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,625
That was in 1989,
When I left Mani Records...

771
00:45:35,708 --> 00:45:37,208
And I contracted

772
00:45:37,916 --> 00:45:39,500
With EMI Latin Recordings.

773
00:45:41,041 --> 00:45:42,416
"(Los Angeles)"

774
00:45:42,500 --> 00:45:44,000
"(Beverly Hills)"

775
00:45:48,041 --> 00:45:50,125
"(Hollywood)"

776
00:45:50,208 --> 00:45:52,458
Yes, we are famous.

777
00:45:52,541 --> 00:45:53,875
Yes, we are.

778
00:45:53,958 --> 00:45:55,041
Yes, my dear.

779
00:45:55,125 --> 00:45:56,375
"September 15, 1989"

780
00:45:56,458 --> 00:45:57,708
"September 14, 1989"

781
00:45:57,791 --> 00:45:59,166
Let me see!

782
00:45:59,250 --> 00:46:00,208
Lucky.

783
00:46:06,041 --> 00:46:07,916
- How much does this room cost?
- Expensive.

784
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:12,500
I remember thinking to myself, “Wow.

785
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,458
We have become rich.

786
00:46:14,541 --> 00:46:16,291
“This is what we were hoping for.”

787
00:46:18,083 --> 00:46:21,041
I'm in Long Beach, California.

788
00:46:21,625 --> 00:46:23,958
The program "Life of the Rich and Famous".

789
00:46:24,625 --> 00:46:27,375
Susie, Ricky, take a picture of us.

790
00:46:27,833 --> 00:46:28,750
- "Ricky"!
- "Hollywood" sign!

791
00:46:28,833 --> 00:46:29,666
Me?

792
00:46:30,583 --> 00:46:32,166
Bring your camera next time.

793
00:46:34,291 --> 00:46:35,833
Picture Hollywood, man.

794
00:46:38,333 --> 00:46:39,166
Wait.

795
00:46:39,250 --> 00:46:40,708
Does "Hollywood" figure in the picture?

796
00:46:45,875 --> 00:46:47,625
But we try to reduce it.

797
00:46:48,166 --> 00:46:51,708
When we contracted with EMI,
We contracted with the Latin side,

798
00:46:51,791 --> 00:46:56,458
But that was the point
He pushed her to cross to the American side.

799
00:47:01,083 --> 00:47:03,500
I don't know what was going through my father's mind,

800
00:47:03,583 --> 00:47:05,750
But he told us from the beginning

801
00:47:05,833 --> 00:47:08,083
With the possibility of pushing me through,

802
00:47:08,166 --> 00:47:11,333
Not only towards Mexican music,
But in the English-speaking market.

803
00:47:24,666 --> 00:47:28,750
American artists of Mexican descent
Latinos in America are like everyone else.

804
00:47:28,833 --> 00:47:30,791
We all dream of crossing to the other side.

805
00:47:30,875 --> 00:47:34,958
We want to reach as many people as possible.

806
00:47:35,041 --> 00:47:38,458
While we strive to honor our roots first,

807
00:47:38,541 --> 00:47:41,375
In the end,
We want to reach the general fan base.

808
00:47:56,916 --> 00:48:00,625
A person feels excited when he overcomes an obstacle

809
00:48:00,708 --> 00:48:04,458
He had planned to get over it, and now he is making it happen.

810
00:48:04,541 --> 00:48:06,333
- In the name of "Dominga".
- "Dominga."

811
00:48:06,416 --> 00:48:08,541
You have to take it because I don't see very well.

812
00:48:09,416 --> 00:48:10,958
It's a bit blurry.

813
00:48:11,541 --> 00:48:13,666
See? She makes money.

814
00:48:13,750 --> 00:48:16,208
I have to make money
And I pay for my car somehow.

815
00:48:20,750 --> 00:48:23,458
I was very busy at work...

816
00:48:25,250 --> 00:48:27,166
I did not find out...

817
00:48:27,750 --> 00:48:29,166
Selena is growing up,

818
00:48:29,250 --> 00:48:32,041
And the band is growing and getting bigger.

819
00:48:32,541 --> 00:48:34,666
Wow, it's Selena!

820
00:48:35,375 --> 00:48:36,291
Great.

821
00:48:36,833 --> 00:48:39,583
Stop! I'm tired of being photographed all the time.

822
00:48:40,166 --> 00:48:41,666
But you know,

823
00:48:41,750 --> 00:48:44,833
Success is measured in this field

824
00:48:44,916 --> 00:48:47,208
By how much money the artist makes.

825
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,000
And we were making a lot of money.

826
00:48:50,083 --> 00:48:51,958
Open the door for me, Marty.

827
00:48:53,833 --> 00:48:56,041
My father started adjusting the bus, Bertha.

828
00:48:57,458 --> 00:48:59,333
We have an electric generator.

829
00:48:59,416 --> 00:49:01,708
He requested that beds be installed indoors with the correct measurements.

830
00:49:02,208 --> 00:49:04,750
It was the best bus ever.

831
00:49:07,500 --> 00:49:09,625
This is what we come to at the end of any concert.

832
00:49:09,708 --> 00:49:11,625
- Mom, please.
- When we're tired.

833
00:49:11,708 --> 00:49:12,875
Stop acting.

834
00:49:13,500 --> 00:49:16,000
Traveling on the Bertha bus, with the Dinos band,

835
00:49:16,083 --> 00:49:18,166
With my family, with everyone,

836
00:49:19,541 --> 00:49:20,625
It was great. It was…

837
00:49:20,708 --> 00:49:21,541
We were…

838
00:49:21,625 --> 00:49:24,083
We had the perfect band.

839
00:49:24,166 --> 00:49:25,541
Are you registering?

840
00:49:25,625 --> 00:49:26,833
Yes.

841
00:49:26,916 --> 00:49:29,000
Hey man. Wait. What are you doing?

842
00:49:29,083 --> 00:49:34,250
I met the band for the first time
In one of the performance rehearsals.

843
00:49:34,833 --> 00:49:37,416
It was very moving and impressive.

844
00:49:38,041 --> 00:49:39,416
I enjoyed their singing style.

845
00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:43,000
It seemed modern at the time, it was new.

846
00:49:43,083 --> 00:49:45,583
(Chris Perry)

847
00:49:59,708 --> 00:50:04,083
"Chris"? It was not me who suggested it
Joining the band.

848
00:50:05,458 --> 00:50:08,333
A.B. is the one who introduced him to us.

849
00:50:09,458 --> 00:50:13,625
His prowess at playing the guitar cannot be denied.

850
00:50:17,166 --> 00:50:19,666
I was in a state of...

851
00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:22,000
I think fascination is the right word.

852
00:50:22,875 --> 00:50:26,500
Because they had just contracted
With Capitol EMI Records.

853
00:50:26,583 --> 00:50:28,750
Of course this was impressive.

854
00:50:29,791 --> 00:50:34,458
In fact, I was very surprised
The band's influence is strong

855
00:50:34,541 --> 00:50:36,125
The music, the singing style, and…

856
00:50:38,416 --> 00:50:39,791
I never looked back.

857
00:50:39,875 --> 00:50:41,125
- "Chris"!
- All the time!

858
00:50:41,208 --> 00:50:43,250
Chris, what do you think of art tours?

859
00:50:43,333 --> 00:50:44,291
It's okay.

860
00:50:47,875 --> 00:50:50,458
At first, we didn't spend much time together.

861
00:50:51,083 --> 00:50:55,041
Selena was always going out
With Suzette or her mother.

862
00:50:55,125 --> 00:50:56,291
Smile, Selena.

863
00:50:56,375 --> 00:50:59,083
So that the American public knows your true appearance.

864
00:51:02,041 --> 00:51:03,041
No!

865
00:51:03,625 --> 00:51:08,125
But we were taking long trips
On the bus.

866
00:51:08,666 --> 00:51:11,958
Then she and I became friends.

867
00:51:13,166 --> 00:51:17,166
Whenever we sat next to each other, we were engaged in conversation.

868
00:51:17,250 --> 00:51:20,333
About music and movies and things like that.

869
00:51:21,208 --> 00:51:25,125
It was great to see her
You act naturally.

870
00:51:25,708 --> 00:51:26,750
Work.

871
00:51:28,500 --> 00:51:30,083
They are trading.

872
00:51:37,708 --> 00:51:40,375
Hey, wait. See? This is what I want. Stop.

873
00:51:40,875 --> 00:51:41,875
Look at me.

874
00:51:43,125 --> 00:51:46,750
Many people imagine it

875
00:51:47,375 --> 00:51:50,791
A strong, invincible woman.

876
00:51:51,500 --> 00:51:52,833
Strong.

877
00:51:52,916 --> 00:51:56,625
But she had a weak side.

878
00:51:57,333 --> 00:52:00,750
Just try it
Dealing with all the burdens you carry,

879
00:52:00,833 --> 00:52:01,916
This is difficult,

880
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,375
Waking up early in the morning
And continue working until late at night,

881
00:52:05,458 --> 00:52:07,500
She did this with a smile and without complaining.

882
00:52:10,125 --> 00:52:12,000
This is the music of songs.

883
00:52:12,083 --> 00:52:14,458
This is the song that Selena and I recorded.

884
00:52:46,583 --> 00:52:49,333
What are you doing, Selena?
Other than traveling for artistic work?

885
00:52:49,875 --> 00:52:54,583
Let me think. أحب أن أستريح فحسب،‬
‫وأقضي الوقت في المنزل.‬

886
00:52:55,458 --> 00:52:57,416
‫أحب تصميم الملابس.‬

887
00:52:57,500 --> 00:53:02,125
I like it. I love making jewelry, belts, and vests.

888
00:53:02,208 --> 00:53:06,500
‫أفعل ذلك أحيانًا فقط،‬
Because I design a lot of stuff for the band

889
00:53:06,583 --> 00:53:07,916
‫وأيضًا لنفسي…‬

890
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,416
‫الكثير من الأزياء.‬

891
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:13,750
I have the jacket and shorts
And the glove, the bag and the shirt.

892
00:53:13,833 --> 00:53:15,125
I like it.

893
00:53:15,208 --> 00:53:18,791
‫هذا حلم آخر من أحلامي،‬
‫أن أفتتح متجر ملابس.‬

894
00:53:18,875 --> 00:53:23,000
So will we see Selena Quintaña fashion soon?

895
00:53:23,083 --> 00:53:24,125
I hope so.

896
00:53:30,666 --> 00:53:34,666
Selena was always active and working.

897
00:53:35,458 --> 00:53:40,083
I think that the ongoing artistic tours
She was starting to get more stressed and tired.

898
00:53:44,916 --> 00:53:49,583
Making designs was something that made her happy.

899
00:53:50,333 --> 00:53:53,041
She was making some time,

900
00:53:53,125 --> 00:53:54,500
Quiet times.

901
00:53:54,583 --> 00:53:59,041
She would grab her sketchbooks and start designing.

902
00:53:59,125 --> 00:54:02,750
And some of our costumes that we wear on stage
It was her design.

903
00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:14,000
I think it's the one outfit I never forget
It is cowhide engraving. It's…

904
00:54:15,500 --> 00:54:17,250
Of course it wasn't my idea.

905
00:54:17,333 --> 00:54:20,666
“Let's make a cowhide outfit,” she said.
I was like, “Oh my God.”

906
00:54:21,166 --> 00:54:24,625
But she loved design.

907
00:54:25,666 --> 00:54:29,041
So we wore this outfit for her.

908
00:54:50,833 --> 00:54:56,541
"Paila Esta Cumbia" was the first song
Which is a huge success.

909
00:54:56,625 --> 00:55:00,041
It sparked a "cumbia" craze.

910
00:55:00,125 --> 00:55:02,791
“We have to perform more songs
With cumbia music.

911
00:55:02,875 --> 00:55:05,875
We felt some hesitation
We were afraid to perform too many cumbia songs.

912
00:55:05,958 --> 00:55:08,791
Because we're not a cumbia band,
Rather, we are famous for our Tejano music.

913
00:55:08,875 --> 00:55:11,708
But the production company said,
“No, play cumbia music the way you want!”

914
00:55:11,791 --> 00:55:14,708
It works! Offer whatever you like.”

915
00:55:14,791 --> 00:55:18,416
Okay, Monterrey fans, applaud!

916
00:55:18,500 --> 00:55:20,250
Raise your hands everyone!

917
00:55:20,333 --> 00:55:24,000
EP made some adjustments
On "Cumbia" songs.

918
00:55:24,083 --> 00:55:28,541
Give it a funk flavor.
It was a huge success.

919
00:55:29,125 --> 00:55:31,541
We were setting new rules in the field,

920
00:55:31,625 --> 00:55:34,000
And I think A.B. was our leader,

921
00:55:34,083 --> 00:55:38,125
Meaning that he was a rebel against norms.

922
00:55:38,208 --> 00:55:39,708
In fact, so was Selena.

923
00:55:39,791 --> 00:55:42,458
Because they were listening a lot
to pop songs,

924
00:55:42,541 --> 00:55:45,041
And we were listening
To a lot of rock and roll.

925
00:55:45,958 --> 00:55:47,875
That's why Selena achieved so much fame.

926
00:55:48,583 --> 00:55:51,083
It has become accepted in other countries.

927
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,833
All of the "Cumbia" songs were a huge hit.

928
00:55:55,333 --> 00:55:57,291
A huge success in the Spanish world.

929
00:55:57,375 --> 00:56:01,625
Honestly, you work very hard.

930
00:56:01,708 --> 00:56:04,375
Seriously, because you recently arrived,

931
00:56:04,458 --> 00:56:06,791
In the Republic of Mexico!

932
00:56:06,875 --> 00:56:08,916
Yes. We were very surprised.
It's really a big surprise

933
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,958
For the audience to accept our songs.

934
00:56:12,041 --> 00:56:16,708
Because it was hard for Tejano bands.
Entry into Mexico,

935
00:56:16,791 --> 00:56:20,750
Now, it's a little easier,
Thanks to the audience.

936
00:56:27,625 --> 00:56:30,375
What do you like about Tejano music?

937
00:56:30,458 --> 00:56:34,333
In fact, the rhythm.

938
00:56:45,166 --> 00:56:47,000
It's very romantic music.

939
00:56:47,083 --> 00:56:49,333
You can dance very close to your partner.

940
00:57:01,958 --> 00:57:04,708
When you're on stage or in pictures,

941
00:57:04,791 --> 00:57:08,583
You spread that energy when you start dancing.

942
00:57:08,666 --> 00:57:11,583
Where did you learn that? "I'll dance while I sing"?

943
00:57:11,666 --> 00:57:14,708
I think I acquired it because of my father's strictness.

944
00:57:16,791 --> 00:57:19,583
No, seriously.

945
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,083
I think it's because I love my job.

946
00:57:24,166 --> 00:57:26,833
I'm full of energy. And also…

947
00:57:28,833 --> 00:57:31,000
The audience is what gives me this enthusiasm.

948
00:57:31,083 --> 00:57:33,166
I love supporting them.

949
00:57:36,166 --> 00:57:39,208
I think it's her relationship with her fans

950
00:57:39,291 --> 00:57:41,750
It was the most important thing to her.

951
00:57:43,541 --> 00:57:47,708
She's starting to discover how to be more spontaneous

952
00:57:47,791 --> 00:57:49,833
When interviewing her

953
00:57:49,916 --> 00:57:53,083
Because whoever grows up, like her in particular,

954
00:57:53,166 --> 00:57:56,125
In this field, he learns from others

955
00:57:56,208 --> 00:57:59,958
What he says, how he acts, etc.

956
00:58:00,041 --> 00:58:01,625
But she began to form her own personality,

957
00:58:01,708 --> 00:58:06,250
She wanted to start integrating her nature and personality
And her beliefs in that picture.

958
00:58:08,375 --> 00:58:10,416
Let's see, which one of you is a womanizer?

959
00:58:16,791 --> 00:58:18,791
Poor thing.

960
00:58:22,041 --> 00:58:25,541
In this area, in the world of Tejano music,
It was hard for us

961
00:58:25,625 --> 00:58:27,458
Because I'm a woman, of course.

962
00:58:28,041 --> 00:58:29,041
What is your name?

963
00:58:29,125 --> 00:58:30,250
- "Eddie."
-Eddie, okay,

964
00:58:30,333 --> 00:58:34,833
Tonight, you're making your acting debut, okay?

965
00:58:34,916 --> 00:58:39,083
That would be Eddie, my ex.

966
00:58:39,166 --> 00:58:41,041
My father was having a lot of trouble

967
00:58:41,125 --> 00:58:43,916
In connection with holding shows or presenting our work.

968
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,666
The reason was that there were too many men
Who do not believe

969
00:58:46,750 --> 00:58:50,041
That women are able to attract an audience

970
00:58:50,125 --> 00:58:51,375
As much as male artists.

971
00:58:51,458 --> 00:58:52,583
But…

972
00:58:53,500 --> 00:58:54,416
This is wrong.

973
00:58:56,416 --> 00:58:58,208
“You imagined

974
00:59:02,083 --> 00:59:05,666
That you will come back

975
00:59:05,750 --> 00:59:08,708
And you will find me

976
00:59:09,750 --> 00:59:16,250
Happy to welcome you

977
00:59:20,166 --> 00:59:21,208
But no"

978
00:59:21,291 --> 00:59:26,000
The song "Kay Kiryas" became
Her anthem directed to women.

979
00:59:27,583 --> 00:59:30,833
A symbol of solidarity, female strength and women's encouragement.

980
00:59:30,916 --> 00:59:33,000
It was as if she announced that she would be their spokesperson

981
00:59:33,083 --> 00:59:35,958
To be brave and unafraid.

982
00:59:36,041 --> 00:59:38,791
It's as if she's saying, "We don't need men."

983
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,291
Ironically, men liked it

984
00:59:43,375 --> 00:59:46,750
Because they knew she would choose one of them

985
00:59:46,833 --> 00:59:48,708
To take the stage with Selena.

986
00:59:48,791 --> 00:59:51,000
“You will find

987
00:59:52,708 --> 00:59:54,958
A love better than mine

988
00:59:56,500 --> 00:59:58,916
What makes you happiest?

989
00:59:59,875 --> 01:00:05,916
You see, it's not that simple."

990
01:00:08,583 --> 01:00:11,000
Do you consider yourself a strong woman with personality?

991
01:00:11,083 --> 01:00:12,041
I think so.

992
01:00:12,541 --> 01:00:14,000
I am controlling and aggressive.

993
01:00:14,083 --> 01:00:15,375
Controlling and aggressive?

994
01:00:16,583 --> 01:00:17,666
This is necessary.

995
01:00:17,750 --> 01:00:18,583
Why?

996
01:00:18,666 --> 01:00:21,166
Why? Because there are a lot of men
In this field,

997
01:00:21,250 --> 01:00:23,750
And if you can't express yourself strongly,

998
01:00:24,291 --> 01:00:26,291
They will run over you.

999
01:00:26,375 --> 01:00:30,750
Do you think people will take advantage of you in this field?

1000
01:00:30,833 --> 01:00:33,291
If you weren't a strong woman?

1001
01:00:33,375 --> 01:00:36,083
Exactly. It happened.

1002
01:00:51,833 --> 01:00:54,125
"Selena, we love you!"

1003
01:01:04,666 --> 01:01:08,916
Where do you think you get that power?
In communicating with the public?

1004
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,833
I think the reason, other than the public, is because...

1005
01:01:12,375 --> 01:01:14,333
Beans and tortilla bread.

1006
01:01:14,416 --> 01:01:15,375
Yes.

1007
01:01:16,458 --> 01:01:19,041
Especially here in Monterey, goat meat.

1008
01:01:21,416 --> 01:01:24,791
And for gentlemen,
They'll thank me if I ask you to turn around.

1009
01:01:24,875 --> 01:01:26,750
They like to see you from both sides.

1010
01:01:31,541 --> 01:01:32,708
And you too!

1011
01:01:32,791 --> 01:01:35,625
- No, I have nothing to offer, Selena.
- Right, ladies?

1012
01:01:35,708 --> 01:01:37,291
You are so handsome!

1013
01:01:37,375 --> 01:01:39,875
I don't have the charms you have.

1014
01:01:39,958 --> 01:01:41,791
I don't have the charms you have.

1015
01:01:41,875 --> 01:01:43,041
Yes!

1016
01:01:43,125 --> 01:01:44,250
Do you want another song?

1017
01:01:44,333 --> 01:01:45,833
Do you have another song, Selena?

1018
01:01:45,916 --> 01:01:49,458
"1992"

1019
01:01:50,083 --> 01:01:52,500
It's Selena's armpit.

1020
01:01:52,583 --> 01:01:53,500
Yes.

1021
01:01:55,083 --> 01:01:56,375
We want to see the armpit.

1022
01:01:56,916 --> 01:01:59,250
Armpit!

1023
01:02:00,333 --> 01:02:02,583
Since the day I joined the band,

1024
01:02:02,666 --> 01:02:05,375
It was so much fun

1025
01:02:05,458 --> 01:02:07,375
I spend my time with them all.

1026
01:02:07,458 --> 01:02:09,041
I heard whose idea it was.

1027
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,416
- Especially Selena.
- Language?

1028
01:02:11,500 --> 01:02:13,291
-We are in Monterey.
- Yes.

1029
01:02:13,375 --> 01:02:14,916
In Spanish, please!

1030
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,791
We are here for a visit
The beautiful city of Monterey.

1031
01:02:17,875 --> 01:02:19,791
You should make Chris say it!

1032
01:02:19,875 --> 01:02:23,208
- "Chris"!
- Hello. My name is Chris.

1033
01:02:23,291 --> 01:02:24,291
"Chris"!

1034
01:02:24,375 --> 01:02:26,375
- Chris Perez.
- Chris Perez.

1035
01:02:26,458 --> 01:02:29,041
-He plays the guitar.
-He plays the guitar.

1036
01:02:29,125 --> 01:02:30,000
Translate!

1037
01:02:30,083 --> 01:02:33,125
The early beginnings of our relationship,

1038
01:02:33,208 --> 01:02:35,500
I think it was while we were there
In "Mexico".

1039
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:37,750
On the plane back home,

1040
01:02:37,833 --> 01:02:39,583
It all started.

1041
01:02:39,666 --> 01:02:40,500
Is this good?

1042
01:02:40,583 --> 01:02:41,958
We enjoy our time very much.

1043
01:02:42,458 --> 01:02:46,041
We started sitting a little closer together.
And little things like that,

1044
01:02:46,125 --> 01:02:47,541
Like touching hands.

1045
01:02:53,791 --> 01:02:58,041
I started telling myself,
“We are just two friends, this is a friendship.

1046
01:02:58,625 --> 01:03:00,166
There is nothing.

1047
01:03:00,250 --> 01:03:02,083
"I shouldn't exaggerate things."

1048
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,333
Chris Perez on guitar!

1049
01:03:06,791 --> 01:03:10,041
I did not find the courage in myself

1050
01:03:10,583 --> 01:03:11,958
To take the first step.

1051
01:03:13,166 --> 01:03:15,541
I think she knew that,

1052
01:03:15,625 --> 01:03:19,583
So, she took the initiative.

1053
01:03:21,666 --> 01:03:24,916
Then things quickly took a serious turn.

1054
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,708
“You are my life, you are all I have

1055
01:03:26,791 --> 01:03:29,833
Come with me, I want to make you my treasure

1056
01:03:29,916 --> 01:03:32,916
I want to give you what I keep in my heart.

1057
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,791
I was beginning to feel the thrill of love

1058
01:03:35,875 --> 01:03:37,375
And other feelings.

1059
01:03:37,875 --> 01:03:40,291
Then I said, "No. Impossible."

1060
01:03:40,375 --> 01:03:42,333
Your father will kill me."

1061
01:03:42,833 --> 01:03:44,666
This probably frustrated her.

1062
01:03:44,750 --> 01:03:48,250
But when she wanted something, she insisted on it.

1063
01:03:49,333 --> 01:03:52,666
And when we kissed for the first time,

1064
01:03:52,750 --> 01:03:55,041
It happened spontaneously, and once it started,

1065
01:03:55,125 --> 01:03:57,625
We didn't stop until the door opened.

1066
01:03:57,708 --> 01:03:58,625
It was Rick.

1067
01:03:58,708 --> 01:04:00,041
I left the room and covered my ears...

1068
01:04:00,833 --> 01:04:02,125
"I don't want to know anything."

1069
01:04:02,208 --> 01:04:03,250
We didn't…

1070
01:04:03,333 --> 01:04:05,500
Did we talk about it then?

1071
01:04:05,583 --> 01:04:07,916
We were probably just joking...

1072
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,166
I think they said, "We apologize for that."

1073
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,000
I don't know.

1074
01:04:12,083 --> 01:04:13,291
"Why didn't you apologize?"

1075
01:04:13,875 --> 01:04:15,666
I was really…

1076
01:04:16,416 --> 01:04:20,958
I was afraid of what might happen with Abraham and...

1077
01:04:22,083 --> 01:04:25,083
He said, "No, nothing will happen."

1078
01:04:25,166 --> 01:04:27,625
And I said, "I don't expect that."

1079
01:04:30,208 --> 01:04:31,500
After that?

1080
01:04:32,083 --> 01:04:36,500
In private, our relationship was
Like any relationship between a boyfriend and a girlfriend.

1081
01:04:36,583 --> 01:04:39,041
We were trying to spend as much time as possible together.

1082
01:04:39,625 --> 01:04:41,458
And at some point while we were in Laredo,

1083
01:04:41,541 --> 01:04:45,500
We each confessed our love to each other for the first time.

1084
01:05:03,541 --> 01:05:06,916
What was Chris and Selena's relationship?
Under confidentiality.

1085
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,583
Even when they were already dating,

1086
01:05:09,666 --> 01:05:11,500
We didn't know much.

1087
01:05:12,333 --> 01:05:16,125
I think they were afraid of what would happen
If Abraham knew about it.

1088
01:05:21,250 --> 01:05:24,250
I didn't like the secrecy surrounding our relationship
From the beginning.

1089
01:05:25,541 --> 01:05:27,541
I've always wanted Abraham's respect.

1090
01:05:28,750 --> 01:05:31,583
But what brought us together,

1091
01:05:31,666 --> 01:05:33,125
I was afraid to risk it.

1092
01:05:33,208 --> 01:05:34,833
I didn't want anyone to separate us.

1093
01:05:35,416 --> 01:05:38,041
I know you have a lot of young fans,

1094
01:05:38,125 --> 01:05:40,500
I also want to know if you have a boyfriend.

1095
01:05:40,583 --> 01:05:41,958
I don't have a boyfriend.

1096
01:05:42,916 --> 01:05:45,250
I am currently focusing on my artistic career,

1097
01:05:45,333 --> 01:05:47,166
So I don't have a boyfriend.

1098
01:05:47,791 --> 01:05:51,791
‫سمعت الكثير من أغنياتك من موسيقى "تيخانو"،‬

1099
01:05:51,875 --> 01:05:55,541
‫كما سمعت أغنيات من موسيقى الديسكو‬
‫وأغنيات باللغة الإنجليزية.‬

1100
01:05:55,625 --> 01:05:58,083
‫ما الذي تفضّلين تسجيله؟‬
‫ما لونك الموسيقي المفضّل؟‬

1101
01:05:58,166 --> 01:06:01,416
I love all kinds of music.

1102
01:06:03,083 --> 01:06:04,083
Can we start again?

1103
01:06:04,166 --> 01:06:06,166
‫آسفة يا أبي، لكنك تصيبني بالتوتر.‬

1104
01:06:07,083 --> 01:06:08,083
Photography.

1105
01:06:09,500 --> 01:06:14,208
‫لطالما كان الموقف صعبًا،‬
‫إلى أن اكتشف "أبراهام" العلاقة ثم…‬

1106
01:06:14,875 --> 01:06:16,125
Then the situation became thorny.

1107
01:06:19,833 --> 01:06:23,666
That was my opinion at the time
‫أنك لا تزالين صغيرة السنّ يا "سيلينا".‬

1108
01:06:23,750 --> 01:06:26,500
You have a whole life ahead of you.

1109
01:06:27,958 --> 01:06:30,833
‫لكن "سيلينا" كانت شخصية عنيدة جدًا.‬

1110
01:06:32,750 --> 01:06:35,166
I had more life experience.

1111
01:06:36,708 --> 01:06:39,833
And if you see something happening,

1112
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,166
I will try to guide her to the right path, and...

1113
01:06:44,250 --> 01:06:45,250
Of course,

1114
01:06:45,333 --> 01:06:48,458
Every father does this for his daughters or sons.

1115
01:06:51,041 --> 01:06:52,958
We had a big fight.

1116
01:06:53,041 --> 01:06:55,750
He said, "You're fired." So I said, "I'm resigning."

1117
01:06:55,833 --> 01:06:57,291
‫كان جدالًا من هذا النوع.‬

1118
01:06:57,375 --> 01:06:58,625
Then I left the band.

1119
01:06:59,875 --> 01:07:00,875
And…

1120
01:07:02,791 --> 01:07:05,125
‫أتذكّر أنني كنت حزينًا جدًا‬

1121
01:07:05,791 --> 01:07:08,375
Because we can no longer travel together.

1122
01:07:08,458 --> 01:07:12,000
‫كان سيصبح من الأصعب أن نلتقي‬
Selena and I,

1123
01:07:12,083 --> 01:07:13,458
And to be together.

1124
01:07:13,541 --> 01:07:16,041
‫عشنا على هذا النحو بضعة أشهر.‬

1125
01:07:21,625 --> 01:07:23,125
“Oh my God, Chris.

1126
01:07:23,208 --> 01:07:26,041
‫أعاني حالة من انعدام التوازن مؤخرًا.‬
To a pathetic extent.

1127
01:07:26,125 --> 01:07:28,958
I swear I'm going to lose my mind.

1128
01:07:29,833 --> 01:07:32,583
‫أتمنّى أن يتركني الجميع وشأني.‬

1129
01:07:32,666 --> 01:07:35,041
Don't they see that I love you?

1130
01:07:35,541 --> 01:07:38,083
Maybe they think I'm having fun or something.

1131
01:07:38,750 --> 01:07:41,833
Sorry I scared you
When I said I wanted to get married.

1132
01:07:41,916 --> 01:07:45,625
But it seems I'm trying to understand your position,
I'm trying to understand you,

1133
01:07:45,708 --> 01:07:47,875
‫أو لعلّي أقول، أحاول أن أعرف كم تحبني.‬

1134
01:07:48,458 --> 01:07:50,458
‫تذكّر، سأظلّ أحبك دائمًا وإلى الأبد.‬

1135
01:07:50,541 --> 01:07:53,291
‫ويزداد افتقادي لك مع مرور كل ثانية.‬

1136
01:07:53,375 --> 01:07:55,458
I love you always. (Selena).”

1137
01:08:22,708 --> 01:08:26,208
One day, I was asleep, when there was a knock on the door.

1138
01:08:26,291 --> 01:08:27,500
It was Selena.

1139
01:08:28,375 --> 01:08:30,625
She said, "Let's go and get married."

1140
01:08:30,708 --> 01:08:33,166
I said, “No, not this way.

1141
01:08:33,250 --> 01:08:35,958
"I don't want you to get married like this."

1142
01:08:38,208 --> 01:08:40,833
Selena was not yet 21 years old.

1143
01:08:42,041 --> 01:08:47,125
I think that was a big concern for my parents,

1144
01:08:47,208 --> 01:08:49,000
For me and for all of us.

1145
01:08:50,875 --> 01:08:53,750
Selena was talking about having a wedding,

1146
01:08:53,833 --> 01:08:56,375
And about her wedding dress...

1147
01:08:56,458 --> 01:08:58,583
She had planned everything,

1148
01:08:58,666 --> 01:09:00,333
And you decided whatever you wanted.

1149
01:09:00,916 --> 01:09:04,333
I thought we could find a way

1150
01:09:04,416 --> 01:09:06,166
To remove all obstacles

1151
01:09:06,250 --> 01:09:10,041
To be able to have the fairytale wedding
Which she was hoping for.

1152
01:09:10,750 --> 01:09:13,458
She was like, “This will never happen.”

1153
01:09:13,541 --> 01:09:16,250
In that moment, my love for her was enough.

1154
01:09:16,333 --> 01:09:20,458
Let us be together, whatever that means and whatever that means.

1155
01:09:20,541 --> 01:09:22,875
Suddenly, we became...

1156
01:09:22,958 --> 01:09:23,833
"Texas, marriage certificate."

1157
01:09:23,958 --> 01:09:25,000
We became a couple.

1158
01:09:25,500 --> 01:09:31,916
I called my dad and he said, “Well, your sister got married.

1159
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,291
She's married." I said, "What?"

1160
01:09:34,375 --> 01:09:35,791
That's how I found out.

1161
01:09:37,833 --> 01:09:39,500
Don't smile so much now, my dear.

1162
01:09:39,583 --> 01:09:41,333
I was disappointed.

1163
01:09:41,416 --> 01:09:42,708
They were very small.

1164
01:09:43,541 --> 01:09:48,125
At that time,
I couldn't believe this was what she actually wanted.

1165
01:09:49,541 --> 01:09:51,083
I was hurt.

1166
01:09:52,666 --> 01:09:55,041
My feelings were definitely hurt

1167
01:09:55,541 --> 01:09:58,833
Because my daughter didn't care...

1168
01:09:58,916 --> 01:10:00,458
She didn't pay attention to her father.

1169
01:10:02,833 --> 01:10:07,166
I remember she went to talk to my mom and dad.

1170
01:10:07,916 --> 01:10:08,833
Smile!

1171
01:10:08,916 --> 01:10:10,541
She was definitely scared

1172
01:10:11,291 --> 01:10:12,625
Because the situation was very intense

1173
01:10:12,708 --> 01:10:14,458
And stressful.

1174
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:15,875
"Chris."

1175
01:10:18,208 --> 01:10:21,791
We sat wondering what was going on.

1176
01:10:22,833 --> 01:10:25,500
Then I went out. She was clearly crying.

1177
01:10:25,583 --> 01:10:28,375
My mom and dad were clearly crying.

1178
01:10:28,458 --> 01:10:31,375
And she hugged me. Then I opened the door.

1179
01:10:31,458 --> 01:10:33,208
She said, "Chris, come in."

1180
01:10:33,291 --> 01:10:34,125
So he entered.

1181
01:10:34,208 --> 01:10:37,708
My father hugged Chris and said to him,

1182
01:10:37,791 --> 01:10:39,208
"Welcome to the family."

1183
01:10:40,458 --> 01:10:43,625
They didn't listen to me.

1184
01:10:43,708 --> 01:10:44,833
They got married without our consent.

1185
01:10:45,791 --> 01:10:49,333
After they got married,
There was nothing I could do but accept it.

1186
01:10:50,041 --> 01:10:53,083
This is how it is, and I can't change a thing.

1187
01:10:55,583 --> 01:10:59,500
“So,” I wondered, “what’s next?”

1188
01:10:59,583 --> 01:11:00,916
What do we do next?"

1189
01:11:01,666 --> 01:11:04,583
Abraham said,
“You will accompany us on our artistic tour.”

1190
01:11:04,666 --> 01:11:08,041
There's someone in your squad
He is now part of your family.

1191
01:11:08,125 --> 01:11:09,291
My husband?

1192
01:11:10,083 --> 01:11:12,583
It's been about a month since I got married,

1193
01:11:12,666 --> 01:11:14,833
I am in love with my husband.

1194
01:11:15,458 --> 01:11:16,458
He is very handsome.

1195
01:11:17,041 --> 01:11:19,541
He was my friend first. This is what sparked my interest.

1196
01:11:20,666 --> 01:11:21,666
Hello, idiot.

1197
01:11:22,541 --> 01:11:24,125
“Sincerely

1198
01:11:24,208 --> 01:11:27,083
We love each other from the bottom of our hearts.”

1199
01:11:27,916 --> 01:11:29,708
It appears to be a jewelry store.

1200
01:11:30,708 --> 01:11:34,083
Sir bus driver, can you take us?
Please

1201
01:11:34,166 --> 01:11:37,458
To a nice supper club?

1202
01:11:38,125 --> 01:11:38,958
Immediately.

1203
01:11:39,041 --> 01:11:40,416
In the blink of an eye, literally.

1204
01:11:40,500 --> 01:11:43,083
All this stress

1205
01:11:43,166 --> 01:11:46,041
And all this hype.

1206
01:11:46,125 --> 01:11:47,250
Everything faded away.

1207
01:11:47,750 --> 01:11:48,583
“Susie”…

1208
01:11:50,333 --> 01:11:52,291
But Marcy doesn't say anything.

1209
01:11:52,375 --> 01:11:53,583
You don't…

1210
01:12:03,625 --> 01:12:05,916
After I married Chris,

1211
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,291
Selena was always telling me her dreams.

1212
01:12:09,375 --> 01:12:13,166
She was removing her decorations

1213
01:12:13,250 --> 01:12:14,958
She wears her hair up into a bun.

1214
01:12:15,583 --> 01:12:17,833
We were talking about…

1215
01:12:17,916 --> 01:12:21,250
About marriage, about my marriage one day,

1216
01:12:21,333 --> 01:12:23,083
about having children,

1217
01:12:23,166 --> 01:12:26,166
We say that her children and my children will play together.

1218
01:12:26,250 --> 01:12:29,166
We will make sure to raise them together.

1219
01:12:31,791 --> 01:12:32,791
Sorry.

1220
01:12:33,583 --> 01:12:35,208
Ordinary things.

1221
01:12:43,083 --> 01:12:45,666
-Say hello.
- Hello.

1222
01:12:45,750 --> 01:12:47,625
Mind if I say "wow"?

1223
01:12:48,291 --> 01:12:49,291
Wow.

1224
01:12:50,625 --> 01:12:51,625
Room tour.

1225
01:12:52,291 --> 01:12:53,250
This is it.

1226
01:12:53,791 --> 01:12:54,958
It's simple.

1227
01:12:55,041 --> 01:12:57,791
I'm glad she got married that way.

1228
01:12:57,875 --> 01:13:01,000
Because she had the opportunity to know love

1229
01:13:01,083 --> 01:13:03,583
And to become a wife and…

1230
01:13:05,125 --> 01:13:06,916
What if she had waited?

1231
01:13:08,083 --> 01:13:12,208
Introducing the beautiful Selena!

1232
01:13:15,166 --> 01:13:18,666
"1993"

1233
01:13:21,500 --> 01:13:25,541
"(Astrodome Houston),
(Texas), (United States)"

1234
01:13:26,458 --> 01:13:28,250
And after we got married,

1235
01:13:28,333 --> 01:13:32,125
Everything was moving so fast.

1236
01:13:32,916 --> 01:13:35,916
Honestly, I feel very happy and grateful

1237
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,000
I am proud to participate in this rodeo.

1238
01:13:38,083 --> 01:13:41,291
It's a wonderful occasion, for sure.
Because approximately 60 thousand people

1239
01:13:41,375 --> 01:13:43,250
They broke the attendance record.

1240
01:13:43,333 --> 01:13:45,625
It's amazing. I can't believe it,

1241
01:13:46,375 --> 01:13:48,833
But I feel very happy about everything,
Great happiness.

1242
01:14:13,791 --> 01:14:15,833
The song “Como La Flor”…

1243
01:14:16,541 --> 01:14:19,666
I remember we were in a hostel

1244
01:14:19,750 --> 01:14:21,125
somewhere on the road,

1245
01:14:21,625 --> 01:14:23,625
I think AB ran out of the bathroom.

1246
01:14:23,708 --> 01:14:25,625
He said to Joe, "Get the keyboard."

1247
01:14:28,666 --> 01:14:30,833
I finished the last words of the song.

1248
01:14:30,916 --> 01:14:33,750
Approved by EP.
And we took her to the studio.

1249
01:14:36,916 --> 01:14:40,125
The song "Como La Flor" was a huge hit.

1250
01:14:40,208 --> 01:14:41,625
And everyone was so excited.

1251
01:14:52,375 --> 01:14:54,333
For many, it's "Como la Flor."

1252
01:14:54,416 --> 01:14:55,916
This is the national anthem.

1253
01:14:57,708 --> 01:14:58,708
"(Texas)"

1254
01:15:11,666 --> 01:15:14,708
She is a Latin artist
Best selling EMI recording.

1255
01:15:14,791 --> 01:15:18,833
The 22-year-old performs with her husband
And her brother and sister.

1256
01:15:18,916 --> 01:15:23,000
And these days,
Selena has happy days.

1257
01:15:24,583 --> 01:15:27,166
Selena's booming popularity
And her lively personality

1258
01:15:27,250 --> 01:15:28,666
And her charming presence on stage,

1259
01:15:28,750 --> 01:15:32,416
This is all starting to attract the attention of advertising companies
Such as Coca-Cola,

1260
01:15:32,500 --> 01:15:36,708
Which she considers a new sound
From the young Latino generation.

1261
01:15:36,791 --> 01:15:38,250
Of course, I love Coca-Cola.

1262
01:15:38,333 --> 01:15:40,416
It is the best soft drink.

1263
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:41,833
"(Coca-Cola Classic)"

1264
01:15:42,333 --> 01:15:46,833
"(Selena)"

1265
01:15:51,958 --> 01:15:53,458
Contracting with Coca-Cola,

1266
01:15:53,541 --> 01:15:55,958
This is an accomplishment of which she was very proud.

1267
01:15:56,458 --> 01:16:00,250
A major company wants a Tejano artist.

1268
01:16:00,333 --> 01:16:02,166
An official spokeswoman for the company.

1269
01:16:02,250 --> 01:16:03,708
It was a very important moment.

1270
01:16:11,958 --> 01:16:16,958
This award is because you have surpassed 300,000 copies
From the album "Entre Ami Mundo".

1271
01:16:17,625 --> 01:16:18,666
Okay.

1272
01:16:22,750 --> 01:16:27,708
We also want to introduce you to the album
The just released, "Selena Live!"

1273
01:16:27,791 --> 01:16:29,958
God willing, we will meet here again soon

1274
01:16:30,041 --> 01:16:32,375
With a three million prize
About "Selena Live!"

1275
01:16:32,458 --> 01:16:34,166
But "Selena Live!" In two months...

1276
01:16:34,250 --> 01:16:35,125
Two months.

1277
01:16:35,208 --> 01:16:37,083
...It has already exceeded 100 thousand copies.

1278
01:16:38,583 --> 01:16:41,791
Do you intend to at some point?
To become a solo singer,

1279
01:16:41,875 --> 01:16:43,500
Or do you intend to continue with your band?

1280
01:16:43,583 --> 01:16:47,083
I will always work with them. The band is my family now.

1281
01:16:47,166 --> 01:16:52,500
I think if I left the band,
I will not feel confident in myself.

1282
01:16:52,583 --> 01:16:54,708
I feel very comfortable in my current place.

1283
01:16:54,791 --> 01:16:59,125
However, in your album,
The cover of your record bears the name "Selena."

1284
01:16:59,208 --> 01:17:02,583
It doesn't have your band's name on it. Their existence is implicitly understood,
But they are not listed on it.

1285
01:17:02,666 --> 01:17:06,208
Yes. Many people already know
What is the band Selena Los Dinos?

1286
01:17:06,291 --> 01:17:11,583
The name "Selena" was written to promote the name
In the English-speaking market,

1287
01:17:11,666 --> 01:17:15,958
And it's much easier to remember the name "Selena."

1288
01:17:24,500 --> 01:17:27,708
We have… In my family, we have…

1289
01:17:28,500 --> 01:17:30,375
Agreement. How do we say "agreement"?

1290
01:17:30,458 --> 01:17:31,458
It's…

1291
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:32,958
Understanding.

1292
01:17:33,041 --> 01:17:35,958
An understanding that we, in this group,

1293
01:17:36,041 --> 01:17:39,125
It's not just about one person.

1294
01:17:39,208 --> 01:17:40,250
It's the whole band.

1295
01:17:40,833 --> 01:17:44,958
And when I achieve, how do you say...

1296
01:17:45,041 --> 01:17:46,583
Victories, they achieve them too.

1297
01:17:46,666 --> 01:17:48,041
I don't achieve it alone.

1298
01:17:56,666 --> 01:17:58,666
Another song for you all, "Ja Face"!

1299
01:18:00,583 --> 01:18:05,875
I always tell people,
"Selena Los Dinos" was our band.

1300
01:18:07,250 --> 01:18:08,875
Late in her career,

1301
01:18:09,750 --> 01:18:11,083
I just became Selena.

1302
01:18:11,708 --> 01:18:14,708
But it was still the same band.
The Dinos remained.

1303
01:18:14,791 --> 01:18:16,916
But they just removed our name.

1304
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,666
But the Dinos remained. It was the same band.

1305
01:18:21,208 --> 01:18:26,041
Selena, yes, she was an amazing artist,
She was a singer and an icon.

1306
01:18:27,125 --> 01:18:29,083
But the institution was Los Dinos.

1307
01:18:30,375 --> 01:18:31,958
This is the Quintanilla family.

1308
01:18:32,041 --> 01:18:35,500
It creates its base of operations
In Corpus Christi.

1309
01:18:35,583 --> 01:18:38,916
Uncle's car workshop!
Which is still being converted.

1310
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:39,833
It's shaping up.

1311
01:18:39,916 --> 01:18:42,208
This is a large paint and body shop.

1312
01:18:42,291 --> 01:18:44,458
They closed these huge doors.

1313
01:18:44,541 --> 01:18:46,583
Here, they will set up a recording studio.

1314
01:18:46,666 --> 01:18:48,750
We do not have to travel outside the city to register.

1315
01:18:48,833 --> 01:18:50,250
We will have a digital studio.

1316
01:18:53,250 --> 01:18:54,791
Play it, Ricky. Which key was it?

1317
01:18:54,875 --> 01:18:56,583
She is preparing for a new album.

1318
01:18:56,666 --> 01:18:59,500
She is rehearsing with her producer, who is also her brother.

1319
01:19:07,500 --> 01:19:10,833
I can't give myself full credit
About the song "Amor Prohibido"

1320
01:19:10,916 --> 01:19:16,375
Because Selena added something to the song.

1321
01:19:16,458 --> 01:19:18,916
She added the "oh my love" part to the song.

1322
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:25,041
If it weren't for the words "Oh my love",
This song wouldn't exist.

1323
01:19:26,291 --> 01:19:27,875
I had a gap in that spot.

1324
01:19:28,708 --> 01:19:30,958
I introduced that phrase naturally.

1325
01:19:31,041 --> 01:19:33,041
I was able to direct myself in the studio.

1326
01:19:33,125 --> 01:19:37,041
No one told me
I have to sing it this way or that way.

1327
01:19:37,125 --> 01:19:38,958
I was able to correct my mistakes myself.

1328
01:19:39,041 --> 01:19:41,208
And I was very happy about that. I felt…

1329
01:19:41,291 --> 01:19:43,000
She continued practicing until she was satisfied with it.

1330
01:19:47,375 --> 01:19:49,916
When I started writing some of the lyrics for this song,

1331
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:55,833
I was feeling anxious
Because there is a part where she rebels against her parents.

1332
01:19:55,916 --> 01:19:57,000
“What matters is love.

1333
01:19:57,083 --> 01:19:59,208
Who cares what they say, your father and mother.”

1334
01:19:59,291 --> 01:20:01,916
“Who cares what they say

1335
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,541
Your father and mother

1336
01:20:04,625 --> 01:20:07,875
Here only our love matters

1337
01:20:07,958 --> 01:20:09,833
"I love you"

1338
01:20:09,916 --> 01:20:13,041
In this album,
I feel that the band's maturity has clearly shown.

1339
01:20:13,125 --> 01:20:15,333
You go through life and write about different things.

1340
01:20:15,416 --> 01:20:17,958
This music showed a different side
From my personality,

1341
01:20:18,041 --> 01:20:20,541
A more mature side of myself.

1342
01:20:21,833 --> 01:20:24,875
Other than singing times
or special appearances on television programmes,

1343
01:20:24,958 --> 01:20:27,125
I like to be like this.

1344
01:20:27,208 --> 01:20:28,750
Relax. Like anyone.

1345
01:20:29,916 --> 01:20:31,291
This is for display only.

1346
01:20:31,375 --> 01:20:32,750
They will now re-polish the floors.

1347
01:20:32,833 --> 01:20:33,833
"Selena Company, store and salon."

1348
01:20:33,916 --> 01:20:37,000
As for the new “Selena” store and salon
In Corpus Christi,

1349
01:20:37,083 --> 01:20:40,833
The Tejano music singer wants to explore her talents
Away from music.

1350
01:20:40,916 --> 01:20:42,708
Fashion is linked to art.

1351
01:20:42,791 --> 01:20:44,208
People love glamorous things.

1352
01:20:44,291 --> 01:20:46,916
I thought it would be nice
To have a fashion collection under my name.

1353
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,750
For me,
I want to prove that I'm smart enough to make it happen

1354
01:20:49,833 --> 01:20:52,333
Or to be a businesswoman, other than my work as an artist.

1355
01:20:53,041 --> 01:20:56,541
I want to thank you for coming
And support this new business venture.

1356
01:20:56,625 --> 01:20:59,083
I hope you all enjoy the services we provide.

1357
01:20:59,166 --> 01:21:02,916
Her passion after music was her fashion store.

1358
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,125
It was something that made her happy.

1359
01:21:05,208 --> 01:21:07,916
Her family was worried

1360
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:12,916
That she had shouldered a burden beyond her abilities

1361
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,833
Because the ongoing artistic tours

1362
01:21:15,916 --> 01:21:19,708
She was starting to get more stressed and tired.

1363
01:21:20,875 --> 01:21:25,541
She wanted to have her own project,
So to speak.

1364
01:21:25,625 --> 01:21:28,000
What do you think of your daughter's new store?
Mr. Quintanilla?

1365
01:21:29,083 --> 01:21:30,125
Actually…

1366
01:21:34,916 --> 01:21:38,583
Many people think that she will give up singing.

1367
01:21:38,666 --> 01:21:39,666
No.

1368
01:21:39,750 --> 01:21:41,833
It's…

1369
01:21:41,916 --> 01:21:43,583
Selena is a smart person.

1370
01:21:43,666 --> 01:21:46,708
She knows that big money comes from singing,

1371
01:21:46,791 --> 01:21:48,166
Not from sewing.

1372
01:21:55,708 --> 01:21:57,375
She always said

1373
01:21:58,250 --> 01:22:01,291
An artist can reach a certain point.

1374
01:22:01,375 --> 01:22:04,375
Then it reaches a stage

1375
01:22:05,208 --> 01:22:06,958
Where he needs an alternative supportive plan.

1376
01:22:07,708 --> 01:22:11,166
She knew that she would start a family in the future,

1377
01:22:11,250 --> 01:22:13,333
She wanted to rely on her stores.

1378
01:22:14,083 --> 01:22:16,666
I would like to have children in the future.

1379
01:22:16,750 --> 01:22:20,083
I think it's part of my femininity,

1380
01:22:20,166 --> 01:22:22,708
As a woman, I feel like I miss him.

1381
01:22:22,791 --> 01:22:24,125
But this will increase in the future.

1382
01:22:24,208 --> 01:22:29,041
I feel like I have to extract all the goals
that I carry in my mind,

1383
01:22:29,708 --> 01:22:31,041
And I achieve it.

1384
01:22:31,541 --> 01:22:34,500
In the future,
When I have time to take care of my children,

1385
01:22:34,583 --> 01:22:36,833
Of course I will have children, about six...

1386
01:22:37,625 --> 01:22:39,041
Another band.

1387
01:22:39,916 --> 01:22:40,750
Selena, hello.

1388
01:22:40,833 --> 01:22:41,666
- Hello.
- Hello!

1389
01:22:41,750 --> 01:22:43,000
"La Feria Monterray, Mexico"

1390
01:22:43,083 --> 01:22:45,625
- Selena will join us. How are you?
- Fine, thanks.

1391
01:22:45,708 --> 01:22:48,250
- We are pleased to meet you, honestly.
-It's a mutual feeling!

1392
01:22:48,333 --> 01:22:49,458
People are arriving.

1393
01:22:49,541 --> 01:22:51,458
There are a lot of people. The place will be full.

1394
01:22:51,541 --> 01:22:54,916
I hope the place is full of people.

1395
01:22:55,875 --> 01:22:57,875
Going to Mexico was a shock.

1396
01:22:58,583 --> 01:23:00,500
The doors opened wide.

1397
01:23:00,583 --> 01:23:02,416
Regarding numbers...

1398
01:23:02,500 --> 01:23:04,541
The crowds arrived…

1399
01:23:06,583 --> 01:23:08,500
I couldn't believe what I saw.

1400
01:23:08,583 --> 01:23:12,000
How does it feel to be back in Monterey?
And fill this place

1401
01:23:12,083 --> 01:23:14,291
By thousands of people?

1402
01:23:14,375 --> 01:23:18,291
Honestly, I feel surprised and excited.

1403
01:23:19,083 --> 01:23:20,375
And stress too!

1404
01:23:20,458 --> 01:23:21,541
This makes me happy.

1405
01:23:21,625 --> 01:23:24,583
Because we followed you to different places.

1406
01:23:24,666 --> 01:23:26,750
We saw how it filled the Houston Astrodome,

1407
01:23:26,833 --> 01:23:30,375
But here in Monterey,
I think the fans are shouting harder,

1408
01:23:30,458 --> 01:23:34,291
Where they express their love to you strongly.

1409
01:23:45,541 --> 01:23:48,791
Crowds reached record numbers
In the "Monteray" show. Tell us about that.

1410
01:23:48,875 --> 01:23:53,875
Our band was the band
Which inaugurated the baseball stadium.

1411
01:23:53,958 --> 01:23:56,166
Many artists attended,

1412
01:23:56,250 --> 01:23:59,833
Like Juan Gabriel and Yuri.
And Veronica Castro.

1413
01:23:59,916 --> 01:24:04,000
We were the only band
That filled the baseball field.

1414
01:24:10,375 --> 01:24:12,583
It was an unprecedented moment,

1415
01:24:12,666 --> 01:24:14,666
We said, "Oh my God,

1416
01:24:14,750 --> 01:24:17,166
What's going on?

1417
01:24:17,250 --> 01:24:18,958
What brought us here?

1418
01:24:19,041 --> 01:24:20,666
How did we get here?

1419
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:23,250
How do we deal with this?"

1420
01:24:23,333 --> 01:24:25,666
I mean, it's a mess. It really is.

1421
01:24:25,750 --> 01:24:27,250
People wanted...

1422
01:24:27,333 --> 01:24:29,041
They just wanted to see Selena.

1423
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:33,458
That's when that success began in Mexico.

1424
01:24:34,208 --> 01:24:36,583
Success increases here

1425
01:24:36,666 --> 01:24:38,000
One or two times more.

1426
01:24:38,500 --> 01:24:41,000
"1994"

1427
01:24:47,833 --> 01:24:51,166
"Bidi Bidi Boom Boom"
One of Selena's most successful songs.

1428
01:24:51,958 --> 01:24:54,125
It was a huge success.

1429
01:25:04,625 --> 01:25:08,208
In Tejano music terms,
Selena was the cream of the crop.

1430
01:25:08,750 --> 01:25:11,416
It was clear that she had reached the top here.

1431
01:25:11,500 --> 01:25:14,083
The next step is "U.S."
And maybe "Europe".

1432
01:25:16,166 --> 01:25:21,083
I never imagined that I would become a famous singer.

1433
01:25:21,166 --> 01:25:22,041
But.…

1434
01:25:22,125 --> 01:25:23,708
- Famous, say it. Famous!
- No!

1435
01:25:23,791 --> 01:25:25,125
You're already famous.

1436
01:25:25,750 --> 01:25:27,208
We love her songs. It's great.

1437
01:25:27,291 --> 01:25:29,000
- Yes.
-A very good singer.

1438
01:25:29,083 --> 01:25:31,541
I love her songs. Dancing to its tunes is fun.

1439
01:25:31,625 --> 01:25:33,208
-You can dance to it.
-Wonderful.

1440
01:25:33,291 --> 01:25:37,958
You gave me confidence
In being a Hispanic woman

1441
01:25:38,041 --> 01:25:40,375
I can do whatever I want.

1442
01:25:40,458 --> 01:25:42,750
Yes, my son, he never spoke Spanish.

1443
01:25:42,833 --> 01:25:46,458
And now, when he heard "Selena",
Learn many words in Spanish.

1444
01:25:46,541 --> 01:25:50,375
To me, she does not represent the American woman
Only of Mexican origin.

1445
01:25:50,458 --> 01:25:53,666
But she's also Mexican and American.

1446
01:25:53,750 --> 01:25:56,375
- She is the most important singer currently.
-I love dancing to her music.

1447
01:25:56,458 --> 01:26:00,958
It's great to see younger kids
They kind of moved away from their roots,

1448
01:26:01,041 --> 01:26:05,416
Tejano music culture,
or Spanish speakers,

1449
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:08,791
Now we listen to it and speak the language too.

1450
01:26:08,875 --> 01:26:11,875
This is great because you get closer
To your roots and culture,

1451
01:26:11,958 --> 01:26:13,708
And understand who you are.

1452
01:26:13,791 --> 01:26:17,000
We love you, Selena!

1453
01:26:30,791 --> 01:26:33,375
I remember Selena
She worked very hard.

1454
01:26:34,500 --> 01:26:37,166
Do not sleep more than three or four hours
And she barely eats.

1455
01:26:39,708 --> 01:26:43,083
But she knew she had to get the job done.

1456
01:26:43,875 --> 01:26:44,916
Where were you?

1457
01:26:46,833 --> 01:26:49,916
Where were you?

1458
01:26:52,541 --> 01:26:56,083
- Did you look for your bag on the bus?
- No, I had to make phone calls.

1459
01:26:56,166 --> 01:26:57,083
- Really?
- Before…

1460
01:26:57,166 --> 01:27:00,000
Then I had to go to the bus
And bring my credit cards.

1461
01:27:00,083 --> 01:27:02,791
- This is the most important thing when shopping.
- Yes, it is.

1462
01:27:03,333 --> 01:27:04,833
- Then?
- Did you hug him?

1463
01:27:04,916 --> 01:27:07,625
I think it was getting harder for her.

1464
01:27:19,833 --> 01:27:21,833
Get ready to play the song.

1465
01:27:40,125 --> 01:27:41,208
Okay, stop filming!

1466
01:27:41,791 --> 01:27:42,750
Great.

1467
01:27:42,833 --> 01:27:44,916
Stop! Shall we play it one last time?

1468
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:45,916
This is what is required.

1469
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,708
One last time, then we finish the work.

1470
01:27:48,791 --> 01:27:51,750
I think she realized

1471
01:27:53,041 --> 01:27:55,583
That a big change was on the horizon

1472
01:27:55,666 --> 01:27:58,416
Regarding what she is used to.

1473
01:27:58,958 --> 01:28:00,583
What we're all used to.

1474
01:28:03,416 --> 01:28:06,166
Welcome to the Grammy Awards
36th annual,

1475
01:28:06,250 --> 01:28:07,458
Direct from New York City.

1476
01:28:07,541 --> 01:28:08,500
"36th Grammy Awards"

1477
01:28:08,583 --> 01:28:10,208
Tonight from Radio City Music Hall...

1478
01:28:10,291 --> 01:28:12,333
"Selena might win a Grammy."

1479
01:28:12,416 --> 01:28:14,166
Being nominated for a Grammy was exciting.

1480
01:28:14,250 --> 01:28:16,750
I mean, we were in awe.

1481
01:28:18,125 --> 01:28:21,708
Having the opportunity to live is that experience

1482
01:28:21,791 --> 01:28:23,416
It was exciting and amazing.

1483
01:28:23,500 --> 01:28:25,000
"Radio City Music Hall"

1484
01:28:25,083 --> 01:28:27,583
She went to get her hair done.

1485
01:28:27,666 --> 01:28:31,208
All the women in the hair salon
They knew Selena.

1486
01:28:31,291 --> 01:28:34,083
Latin women in the place…

1487
01:28:34,166 --> 01:28:35,208
I was amazed.

1488
01:28:35,291 --> 01:28:38,875
News of her presence in the salon spread.

1489
01:28:38,958 --> 01:28:43,541
Suddenly, they started treating us
As if we were from a royal family.

1490
01:28:43,625 --> 01:28:45,833
In short, I got ready for the party.

1491
01:28:45,916 --> 01:28:46,916
And she got ready, too.

1492
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:50,000
And I will never forget this moment.

1493
01:28:50,666 --> 01:28:53,291
I walked out, literally stunned.

1494
01:28:53,375 --> 01:28:56,958
“You look gorgeous.

1495
01:28:57,041 --> 01:29:00,208
“Oh my God. "You look perfect."

1496
01:29:00,291 --> 01:29:03,041
We were ten people sitting in one row near the back

1497
01:29:03,125 --> 01:29:04,375
Because we arrived late.

1498
01:29:04,458 --> 01:29:06,541
As usual. I'm always late.

1499
01:29:06,625 --> 01:29:10,541
- And they announced that I was the winner.
The Grammy Award goes to...

1500
01:29:10,625 --> 01:29:12,416
- I said, "Oh my God!"
- "Selena Live".

1501
01:29:12,500 --> 01:29:16,208
Our entire class stood up and chanted...

1502
01:29:17,333 --> 01:29:19,041
I said, "Oh my God!"

1503
01:29:19,125 --> 01:29:21,541
Thank you Capitol EMI Latin
And Jose Behar.

1504
01:29:21,625 --> 01:29:23,125
"Best Mexican American Album, (Selena Live)"

1505
01:29:23,208 --> 01:29:26,625
Because they made our presence felt on this night
Because they believed in our abilities,

1506
01:29:26,708 --> 01:29:28,208
When they trusted us four years ago.

1507
01:29:28,291 --> 01:29:31,125
I would also like to thank my band,
Los Dinos and my father Abraham,

1508
01:29:31,208 --> 01:29:35,083
My brother is the producer of my songs, and so is my sister.

1509
01:29:35,166 --> 01:29:37,125
Thanks for the support. I would also like to thank…

1510
01:29:37,208 --> 01:29:39,833
The album was groundbreaking.

1511
01:29:40,583 --> 01:29:42,875
They were expanding the borders

1512
01:29:42,958 --> 01:29:45,041
They multiply the challenges.

1513
01:29:45,125 --> 01:29:47,750
Winner of a number of awards
annual tejano music,

1514
01:29:47,833 --> 01:29:50,791
Including Best Female Singer and Best Artist of the Year,

1515
01:29:50,875 --> 01:29:54,791
She recently won her first Grammy Award.
For the album "Selena Live!"

1516
01:29:54,875 --> 01:29:56,041
I still feel panicked.

1517
01:29:56,750 --> 01:29:58,333
Winning a Grammy was amazing.

1518
01:29:58,416 --> 01:30:00,541
It would have been great if I had attended.

1519
01:30:00,625 --> 01:30:03,458
But they didn't have enough tickets,
I couldn't go.

1520
01:30:03,541 --> 01:30:05,541
But I didn't know,

1521
01:30:05,625 --> 01:30:07,666
The producer also won a Grammy Award.

1522
01:30:07,750 --> 01:30:11,291
So I won a Grammy too.
But I didn't know that.

1523
01:30:11,375 --> 01:30:14,041
I never expected us to win anything.

1524
01:30:14,583 --> 01:30:16,041
It didn't even occur to me...

1525
01:30:16,125 --> 01:30:20,833
The truth is, it was a huge honor
To be nominated.

1526
01:30:21,333 --> 01:30:25,333
When we went, I took the camera
To take pictures with all the stars.

1527
01:30:26,375 --> 01:30:29,541
I didn't even think about the possibility of running.

1528
01:30:29,625 --> 01:30:31,166
And everyone wants to take pictures with you.

1529
01:30:31,250 --> 01:30:33,500
They wouldn't even let me bring my camera in.

1530
01:30:33,583 --> 01:30:35,250
- No?
- No, but I left with this...

1531
01:30:36,666 --> 01:30:40,208
She is the most successful Tejano music star
Years ago.

1532
01:30:40,291 --> 01:30:43,041
She is known by one name, "Selena".

1533
01:30:43,125 --> 01:30:44,541
After negotiating for more than two years,

1534
01:30:44,625 --> 01:30:45,875
“(SBK) signs the Latin star
"Selena's on a global deal."

1535
01:30:45,958 --> 01:30:48,125
I finally contracted
To produce an album in English.

1536
01:30:48,208 --> 01:30:51,625
After waiting a long time,
Selena wanted everything to be done right.

1537
01:30:51,708 --> 01:30:54,166
We contracted with “SBK” company
For English recordings.

1538
01:30:54,250 --> 01:30:56,000
It is a subsidiary of EMI.

1539
01:30:56,583 --> 01:30:58,500
We look forward to the artistic crossing.

1540
01:30:58,583 --> 01:31:01,625
Selena just got hired
With "Capitol" International.

1541
01:31:01,708 --> 01:31:04,208
So you will be on top
With all the male artists.

1542
01:31:04,916 --> 01:31:06,458
But, one moment.

1543
01:31:06,541 --> 01:31:10,708
Company representative from the English-speaking market
Make something clear

1544
01:31:10,791 --> 01:31:14,958
And that is, Tejano music is also universal.

1545
01:31:15,041 --> 01:31:18,041
So we'll never leave Tejano music, okay?

1546
01:31:24,208 --> 01:31:27,708
It was still in its early stages
From choosing her songs, etc.

1547
01:31:27,791 --> 01:31:31,833
But the recording of this album is in English
To actually achieve this,

1548
01:31:31,916 --> 01:31:33,916
Her heart was filled with great happiness.

1549
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,416
This was 100 percent her dream.

1550
01:31:36,500 --> 01:31:38,250
Has the pressure and busyness increased now?

1551
01:31:38,333 --> 01:31:41,083
-Are you still touring?
- I'm getting busier.

1552
01:31:41,166 --> 01:31:44,875
We tour and try to work in the studio
On the English album recording,

1553
01:31:44,958 --> 01:31:46,458
We try to do other things.

1554
01:31:46,541 --> 01:31:49,375
But we hope for success,

1555
01:31:49,458 --> 01:31:51,083
We feel like we're not trying hard enough.

1556
01:31:51,166 --> 01:31:55,000
When the pressure increases, you want to slow down,
But when you remember your beginnings,

1557
01:31:55,083 --> 01:31:56,250
Your appreciation for what you have achieved increases.

1558
01:31:57,333 --> 01:31:58,916
English was my first language.

1559
01:31:59,875 --> 01:32:02,958
I listen to songs in English
All my life.

1560
01:32:04,041 --> 01:32:06,916
This is something I hope to do
A very long time ago.

1561
01:32:09,333 --> 01:32:12,166
If you have a dream, if you don't try,
You will never know,

1562
01:32:12,250 --> 01:32:14,083
So I will try.

1563
01:32:15,333 --> 01:32:18,791
I will try to do my best
And to give my best.

1564
01:32:18,875 --> 01:32:21,500
I hope the audience supports our songs.

1565
01:32:21,583 --> 01:32:23,625
It won't be Texas Mexican music.

1566
01:32:23,708 --> 01:32:26,416
It will be contemporary pop and R&B.

1567
01:32:26,500 --> 01:32:28,708
It will be a completely different color.

1568
01:32:29,208 --> 01:32:32,041
Selena, are you absolutely sure?
What you will achieve,

1569
01:32:32,125 --> 01:32:34,083
Or is there still fear inside you?

1570
01:32:34,166 --> 01:32:36,041
- I'm afraid.
- Really?

1571
01:32:36,125 --> 01:32:37,833
- Yes, of course.
- A little or a lot?

1572
01:32:37,916 --> 01:32:41,708
A lot. I'm so scared.

1573
01:32:41,791 --> 01:32:44,375
But one has to try, right?
To know.

1574
01:32:45,041 --> 01:32:46,208
She understood

1575
01:32:47,583 --> 01:32:51,708
There will be changes in the band’s staff and…

1576
01:32:52,500 --> 01:32:54,083
It scared her.

1577
01:32:56,208 --> 01:32:58,416
She was used to having power

1578
01:32:58,500 --> 01:33:01,041
Which she supported in the band "Los Dinos",

1579
01:33:01,958 --> 01:33:04,416
She didn't know what to expect

1580
01:33:05,791 --> 01:33:09,916
And what could happen with the release of the new song.

1581
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,833
How are you doing, people of Houston, Texas?

1582
01:33:18,208 --> 01:33:24,291
"1995"

1583
01:33:45,250 --> 01:33:46,833
I remember she broke down and cried.

1584
01:33:46,916 --> 01:33:50,708
“Part of me wants this,” she said
And part of me doesn't want it."

1585
01:33:50,791 --> 01:33:53,125
I said, "Why is there a part of you that doesn't want this?"

1586
01:33:53,208 --> 01:33:57,958
“Because I'm leaving you,” she said,
"And I will leave Suzette and my father and everything I know."

1587
01:33:58,041 --> 01:34:00,250
I said, "You won't leave us."

1588
01:34:00,750 --> 01:34:02,541
“This was always the plan,” I said.

1589
01:34:03,208 --> 01:34:04,375
English market.”

1590
01:34:09,875 --> 01:34:13,583
She is the most successful Tejano music star
Years ago.

1591
01:34:15,041 --> 01:34:18,083
It attracts crowds in record numbers
In stadiums all over the country

1592
01:34:18,166 --> 01:34:20,458
And to “Mexico” and “Central and South America”.

1593
01:34:20,541 --> 01:34:22,708
This is Selena.

1594
01:34:24,208 --> 01:34:28,041
Selena, a star who is only 23 years old.

1595
01:34:28,833 --> 01:34:30,000
We all knew

1596
01:34:30,625 --> 01:34:33,208
That "Selena" was bigger

1597
01:34:33,291 --> 01:34:36,083
Than she imagined.

1598
01:34:36,166 --> 01:34:37,916
I don't think she knew how big it was.

1599
01:34:46,333 --> 01:34:47,541
This was her moment.

1600
01:34:54,250 --> 01:34:56,166
We did not feel that she would leave us.

1601
01:34:56,250 --> 01:34:58,333
She's been through a tough time.

1602
01:34:58,416 --> 01:34:59,666
She cried.

1603
01:35:07,583 --> 01:35:10,375
We had a family talk. We all talked about it.

1604
01:35:10,458 --> 01:35:12,708
And I said I couldn't anymore
To be your drummer.

1605
01:35:12,791 --> 01:35:15,250
I won't be behind you anymore, I'll just stand aside.

1606
01:35:35,708 --> 01:35:37,250
And I remember I said,

1607
01:35:38,041 --> 01:35:42,125
Nothing can separate us, because we are one entity.

1608
01:35:59,666 --> 01:36:03,250
This is my real picture after the show, without...

1609
01:36:04,708 --> 01:36:05,583
Hair extension.

1610
01:36:05,666 --> 01:36:10,875
This is real poetry
Which literally sprouts out of my head.

1611
01:36:12,125 --> 01:36:16,500
In any case,
I know everyone will watch this video,

1612
01:36:16,583 --> 01:36:20,208
And I want to say, "You were terrible tonight."

1613
01:36:21,458 --> 01:36:24,208
I was just kidding. You've done an amazing job.

1614
01:36:24,291 --> 01:36:25,375
And…

1615
01:36:25,958 --> 01:36:27,625
I hate it when you say I'm a wonderful woman

1616
01:36:27,708 --> 01:36:29,916
Because I hate when you're right.

1617
01:36:31,625 --> 01:36:33,708
I'm just kidding. Without you, I'm nothing.

1618
01:36:33,791 --> 01:36:36,208
So I want to tell you that I love you.

1619
01:36:36,291 --> 01:36:37,750
And keep doing the good work.

1620
01:36:45,916 --> 01:36:47,125
This is an emergency service.

1621
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,583
A woman rushed to the entrance,
She says she was shot.

1622
01:36:50,666 --> 01:36:52,916
She's lying on the ground, and there's blood.

1623
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:53,833
Okay.

1624
01:36:54,541 --> 01:36:55,458
How old is she?

1625
01:36:55,541 --> 01:36:57,000
She looks about 20.

1626
01:37:00,625 --> 01:37:04,375
Once again, Selena,
A Tejano music star was shot.

1627
01:37:04,458 --> 01:37:06,583
We don't know her condition at the moment.

1628
01:37:06,666 --> 01:37:09,708
But we will continue to provide you with the latest developments
In this news,

1629
01:37:09,791 --> 01:37:12,958
With direct reports
All afternoon. We have…

1630
01:37:13,041 --> 01:37:15,333
I just arrived, so I don't know what's going on.

1631
01:37:15,416 --> 01:37:17,666
Selena was shot.
-Shall we break into the place?

1632
01:37:18,958 --> 01:37:20,125
Let me go check it out.

1633
01:37:20,208 --> 01:37:21,875
Tell them...just tell them...

1634
01:37:21,958 --> 01:37:24,250
...Go back and leave those tapes with them.

1635
01:37:24,333 --> 01:37:25,458
About an hour and a half ago,

1636
01:37:25,541 --> 01:37:28,291
Corpus Christi Police received a report
That "Selena Quintanilla",

1637
01:37:28,375 --> 01:37:31,416
Grammy Award-winning Tejano singer
She was shot...

1638
01:37:32,333 --> 01:37:34,458
I was in the studio waiting for her.

1639
01:37:35,333 --> 01:37:39,375
After 15 minutes,
The phone started ringing like crazy at Q Company.

1640
01:37:39,458 --> 01:37:41,333
And I received a call

1641
01:37:42,375 --> 01:37:43,791
From one of my friends.

1642
01:37:43,875 --> 01:37:45,791
She said something like,

1643
01:37:46,500 --> 01:37:48,958
"You have to go to the hospital now."

1644
01:37:49,541 --> 01:37:51,291
Selena's condition at this stage...

1645
01:37:51,375 --> 01:37:53,416
She is in serious condition at Memorial Medical Center.

1646
01:37:53,500 --> 01:37:55,833
We will update you as soon as possible.

1647
01:37:55,916 --> 01:37:58,333
The receptionist shouted and the phone rang.

1648
01:37:58,416 --> 01:38:01,041
I said, "What happened?"
And she said, "Selena's in the emergency room."

1649
01:38:01,625 --> 01:38:03,916
I entered and found the press,

1650
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,083
They carry TV cameras,

1651
01:38:06,750 --> 01:38:08,458
They were already there! Do you believe it?

1652
01:38:08,541 --> 01:38:10,666
Currently, there are people…

1653
01:38:10,750 --> 01:38:13,666
Hundreds and hundreds of people
A fan of Selena Quintanilla.

1654
01:38:13,750 --> 01:38:17,000
I was getting calls from everywhere you can imagine.

1655
01:38:17,083 --> 01:38:21,041
I had nothing to tell them.

1656
01:38:21,125 --> 01:38:23,125
Hotel and hospital officials are not talking.

1657
01:38:23,208 --> 01:38:25,625
There is an unconfirmed report that…

1658
01:38:25,708 --> 01:38:29,250
Hundreds of fans gathered
Near the hotel parking lot,

1659
01:38:29,333 --> 01:38:33,250
They witness a strange encounter
Among police rapid intervention teams

1660
01:38:33,333 --> 01:38:36,750
And Yolanda, who is accused of killing Selena.
You're sitting in a truck.

1661
01:38:36,833 --> 01:38:41,500
For about ten hours,
She points a gun at her head and threatens to commit suicide.

1662
01:38:41,583 --> 01:38:46,416
My father said,
“Someone is on the phone wanting to talk to you.”

1663
01:38:46,500 --> 01:38:48,083
“I don't want to startle you,” he said.

1664
01:38:48,166 --> 01:38:51,583
But I think something bad happened to Selena.”

1665
01:38:54,041 --> 01:38:55,458
I went up,

1666
01:38:55,541 --> 01:38:59,666
I found my uncles there

1667
01:38:59,750 --> 01:39:01,083
And my aunt,

1668
01:39:01,166 --> 01:39:02,833
And everyone was crying.

1669
01:39:02,916 --> 01:39:04,416
And I entered,

1670
01:39:05,458 --> 01:39:08,625
I saw my mother shaking her head and crying.

1671
01:39:10,500 --> 01:39:12,750
And I asked my father, "Where's Selena?"

1672
01:39:13,458 --> 01:39:15,791
He said, "She was shot."

1673
01:39:16,625 --> 01:39:18,875
I said, "Is she okay?"

1674
01:39:20,166 --> 01:39:23,208
He replied, “I don’t think so, son.

1675
01:39:23,291 --> 01:39:24,333
"I don't think so."

1676
01:39:24,416 --> 01:39:26,666
Grammy Award-winning singer
I got shot today...

1677
01:39:26,750 --> 01:39:28,416
You came to the hospital.

1678
01:39:29,666 --> 01:39:31,166
They took me to a room,

1679
01:39:32,625 --> 01:39:34,833
Her family was there.

1680
01:39:36,416 --> 01:39:42,250
And when I looked and saw Marcy,

1681
01:39:42,333 --> 01:39:44,625
And I saw her condition,

1682
01:39:44,708 --> 01:39:45,708
I knew.

1683
01:39:47,416 --> 01:39:50,333
I knew. Then the shock became clear.

1684
01:39:54,291 --> 01:39:56,375
I still remember the sight of Chris crying.

1685
01:39:59,500 --> 01:40:02,666
Behind the door. The door had a small window.

1686
01:40:02,750 --> 01:40:05,541
poor man,
We sat there and cried bitterly.

1687
01:40:06,666 --> 01:40:07,666
Anyway.

1688
01:40:14,541 --> 01:40:16,625
My daughter, Selena...

1689
01:40:19,208 --> 01:40:20,333
She was killed

1690
01:40:21,291 --> 01:40:23,541
By a disgruntled employee.

1691
01:40:24,041 --> 01:40:27,208
She was president...

1692
01:40:27,291 --> 01:40:29,958
She was initially the president of the fan club.

1693
01:40:30,625 --> 01:40:31,791
And then

1694
01:40:32,666 --> 01:40:36,666
She was employed by Selena.

1695
01:40:37,375 --> 01:40:38,833
In its stores.

1696
01:40:39,333 --> 01:40:41,333
There were some disagreements

1697
01:40:41,875 --> 01:40:43,250
With the fan club.

1698
01:40:44,750 --> 01:40:46,041
Hence

1699
01:40:47,083 --> 01:40:50,208
This led to her shooting
On "Selena".

1700
01:40:51,583 --> 01:40:53,250
I don't know what to say.

1701
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:10,625
The sky was grey,

1702
01:41:10,708 --> 01:41:13,208
Even darker was the sadness this morning.

1703
01:41:13,291 --> 01:41:18,041
By the hundreds, they came to lay white roses
On Selena's coffin.

1704
01:41:18,125 --> 01:41:21,291
Today "Selena Quintanilla Perez" fans

1705
01:41:21,375 --> 01:41:24,208
They came to see their rising star one last time.

1706
01:41:24,291 --> 01:41:27,916
Selena Quintanilla leaves behind
A great musical project

1707
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:30,041
It will remain in people's memories for a long time.

1708
01:41:30,125 --> 01:41:33,333
But it also leaves behind a huge void
In the field of Tejano music.

1709
01:41:33,416 --> 01:41:35,541
She had already won a Grammy Award.

1710
01:41:35,625 --> 01:41:38,333
She was on the verge of crossing
To the world of American art.

1711
01:41:38,416 --> 01:41:39,916
Then tragedy struck.

1712
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:43,458
Now music lovers all over the world
They mourn the death of Selena.

1713
01:41:43,541 --> 01:41:45,333
I can't believe she's dead. That's why I came.

1714
01:41:45,416 --> 01:41:46,583
So that I can…

1715
01:41:48,208 --> 01:41:50,708
Until I can convince myself, I guess.

1716
01:41:51,708 --> 01:41:53,958
I remember the past and see those pictures

1717
01:41:54,625 --> 01:41:56,625
How many people were there?

1718
01:41:56,708 --> 01:42:00,041
I don't remember any of this.

1719
01:42:00,125 --> 01:42:04,125
I only remember being there
And I feel so lost.

1720
01:42:05,291 --> 01:42:08,000
And extreme emptiness.

1721
01:42:31,791 --> 01:42:33,750
Death is very painful.

1722
01:42:34,250 --> 01:42:36,083
Especially the death of a son or daughter.

1723
01:42:39,708 --> 01:42:42,333
Only those who have been exposed to it can understand it.

1724
01:42:45,833 --> 01:42:48,416
One realizes that it will be painful,

1725
01:42:49,541 --> 01:42:51,625
But he cannot imagine the depth of the feeling.

1726
01:42:52,333 --> 01:42:55,708
And sometimes

1727
01:42:57,041 --> 01:42:58,375
I am shocked to realize the reality.

1728
01:43:05,208 --> 01:43:06,875
But this is how it is.

1729
01:43:08,041 --> 01:43:09,541
We cannot change it.

1730
01:43:10,666 --> 01:43:12,250
I hope you remember this song.

1731
01:43:57,250 --> 01:43:58,291
Which mother?

1732
01:43:59,875 --> 01:44:01,625
lose a boy,

1733
01:44:02,458 --> 01:44:04,291
It is very difficult.

1734
01:44:06,541 --> 01:44:08,125
This is hard to bear.

1735
01:44:09,833 --> 01:44:11,333
But I try to bear it every day.

1736
01:44:26,041 --> 01:44:32,708
"2024"

1737
01:44:43,958 --> 01:44:46,958
"Selena Museum"

1738
01:45:10,875 --> 01:45:14,500
Console me a little

1739
01:45:14,583 --> 01:45:16,750
To see how many people love it

1740
01:45:17,583 --> 01:45:18,666
To this day.

1741
01:45:22,875 --> 01:45:26,791
They took her life away,
But we will commemorate her through her songs.

1742
01:45:28,375 --> 01:45:30,416
Lots of new fans...

1743
01:45:30,500 --> 01:45:34,583
Young children became fans, and…

1744
01:45:34,666 --> 01:45:35,708
It remains.

1745
01:45:39,333 --> 01:45:41,708
It's everywhere.

1746
01:45:42,750 --> 01:45:44,125
Everywhere, that's nice.

1747
01:45:44,208 --> 01:45:46,416
It's great that people remember her.

1748
01:45:46,500 --> 01:45:48,958
But sometimes it's more than we can bear.

1749
01:45:52,541 --> 01:45:57,625
Take the reins at Q Production Company
Full of challenges.

1750
01:45:58,708 --> 01:46:01,416
Honestly, I'm trying to cope
With any problem from the standpoint,

1751
01:46:01,500 --> 01:46:03,208
"Will my sister like it?"

1752
01:46:04,500 --> 01:46:06,250
"Will you agree to this?"

1753
01:46:07,666 --> 01:46:09,666
I wonder, “How do we do this for her?”

1754
01:46:19,500 --> 01:46:21,000
I wish you were here.

1755
01:46:22,500 --> 01:46:24,041
I wish you had seen this.

1756
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:26,916
We miss you.

1757
01:46:43,583 --> 01:46:46,375
New version recorded by "Selena"
Just before her death

1758
01:46:46,458 --> 01:46:48,500
Sold in record numbers.

1759
01:46:48,583 --> 01:46:53,458
When I hear the song "Dreaming of You",
I say, "You made it."

1760
01:46:58,041 --> 01:47:00,333
"(Selena Los Dinos)"

1761
01:47:01,958 --> 01:47:04,791
This is the song
Which I can't listen to.

1762
01:47:04,875 --> 01:47:06,250
This is the only song.

1763
01:47:06,333 --> 01:47:08,833
That song, it's...

1764
01:47:08,916 --> 01:47:11,291
At first I hear the piano, and my day is disturbed.

1765
01:47:14,916 --> 01:47:17,375
I miss her so much.

1766
01:47:19,083 --> 01:47:21,083
But today

1767
01:47:21,166 --> 01:47:25,958
I'm so proud of what you stand for

1768
01:47:26,958 --> 01:47:29,250
And the small role

1769
01:47:29,333 --> 01:47:32,750
Which I play in that story.

1770
01:47:33,833 --> 01:47:36,916
I think this applies to all of us.

1771
01:47:38,291 --> 01:47:41,791
My mother confided in me that there is beauty

1772
01:47:41,875 --> 01:47:45,208
Inside this ugliness that happened.

1773
01:47:46,041 --> 01:47:48,083
for a very long time,

1774
01:47:48,166 --> 01:47:50,875
I didn't understand it at all,

1775
01:47:52,208 --> 01:47:54,500
But I understand now

1776
01:47:55,083 --> 01:47:57,000
What "Selena" means to people.

1777
01:48:00,875 --> 01:48:03,541
What it represents in terms of culture.

1778
01:48:04,958 --> 01:48:06,458
And it's beautiful.

1779
01:48:09,625 --> 01:48:11,583
Selena, in the eyes of Latinos,

1780
01:48:11,666 --> 01:48:15,666
She brought hope to the Mexican American community.

1781
01:48:18,583 --> 01:48:21,125
To a little girl somewhere

1782
01:48:21,208 --> 01:48:23,208
Or a little boy somewhere dreaming,

1783
01:48:23,291 --> 01:48:25,916
That's the purpose of songs. It's for you.

1784
01:48:26,958 --> 01:48:28,083
Who sings it?

1785
01:48:28,166 --> 01:48:29,916
Who dance to its tunes.

1786
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:32,333
Those who are happy with her songs and those who are sad.

1787
01:48:33,458 --> 01:48:34,833
It's their songs.

1788
01:48:41,541 --> 01:48:45,791
We grew up in a country where we don't feel connected
With our Mexican origins,

1789
01:48:45,875 --> 01:48:49,458
So singing her songs
It makes me feel connected to that part of my culture.

1790
01:48:49,541 --> 01:48:51,625
I felt like she was a member of my family.

1791
01:48:51,708 --> 01:48:54,125
Selena was a role model in my life.

1792
01:48:54,208 --> 01:48:56,250
She embodied everything I wanted to be.

1793
01:48:56,333 --> 01:49:00,583
She was the first person
It touches everyone's souls at the same time.

1794
01:49:00,666 --> 01:49:04,666
Puerto Rican communities
Mexican, Latin,

1795
01:49:04,750 --> 01:49:05,708
All together.

1796
01:49:05,791 --> 01:49:07,375
We thank Selena.

1797
01:49:07,458 --> 01:49:09,333
Still breaking down barriers

1798
01:49:09,416 --> 01:49:11,833
It opens doors to the Latino community.

1799
01:49:13,791 --> 01:49:14,833
turn on the radio,

1800
01:49:14,916 --> 01:49:18,375
You find that her songs are still being broadcast,
Even after all these years.

1801
01:49:19,458 --> 01:49:22,333
And the public has not forgotten her.

1802
01:49:22,916 --> 01:49:24,083
They love Selena.

1803
01:49:24,166 --> 01:49:26,291
Selena is the queen of Tejano music.

1804
01:49:26,375 --> 01:49:28,625
So it makes sense to come out on top

1805
01:49:28,708 --> 01:49:32,333
billboard list
As the greatest Latin artist of all time.

1806
01:49:32,416 --> 01:49:36,000
She ranked first among women.

1807
01:49:36,083 --> 01:49:38,083
She left behind a legacy of loving music,

1808
01:49:38,166 --> 01:49:41,291
It opened doors for aspiring Tejano artists
Everywhere.

1809
01:49:41,375 --> 01:49:44,833
They will never forget your contributions,
Not only in the music industry,

1810
01:49:44,916 --> 01:49:45,958
And in their professional lives.

1811
01:49:46,041 --> 01:49:47,916
We love you, Selena!

1812
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:52,583
With this great party, celebrating Selena!

1813
01:49:56,958 --> 01:49:57,916
I feel,

1814
01:49:58,958 --> 01:50:01,125
In a way, relieved.

1815
01:50:04,041 --> 01:50:05,250
He consoles me.

1816
01:50:08,791 --> 01:50:11,791
Because people express so much love...

1817
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:14,833
towards her

1818
01:50:16,083 --> 01:50:17,208
To this day.

1819
01:50:31,250 --> 01:50:33,708
And I…

1820
01:50:38,750 --> 01:50:40,500
I'm very proud of her.

1821
01:50:43,125 --> 01:50:44,583
How do you want people to remember you?

1822
01:50:44,666 --> 01:50:49,416
How long will we enjoy Selena's songs?

1823
01:50:49,916 --> 01:50:53,791
I would like to do this for the rest of my life,

1824
01:50:53,875 --> 01:50:56,500
But in the end, I'm going to die, right?

1825
01:50:56,583 --> 01:50:59,208
But I think

1826
01:50:59,833 --> 01:51:01,833
It depends on the audience.

1827
01:51:01,916 --> 01:51:05,583
How long I stay depends on them.

1828
01:51:06,375 --> 01:51:08,166
As long as they want me here.

1829
01:51:11,416 --> 01:51:12,750
- Sing it first.
- Okay.

1830
01:51:55,166 --> 01:51:56,375
We will not win.

1831
01:52:04,875 --> 01:52:07,125
"I'm leaving today"

1832
01:52:10,166 --> 01:52:12,500
Back to you, later tonight...

1833
01:52:14,958 --> 01:52:16,583
This is Selena Los Dinos.

1834
01:52:16,666 --> 01:52:18,125
Now we will see the new photography,

1835
01:52:18,208 --> 01:52:20,291
The latest filming, here on the channel...

1836
01:52:21,833 --> 01:52:23,833
- To convey it in a better way.
- Let's say "Los Dinos".

1837
01:52:23,916 --> 01:52:25,916
This is Selena...
- "Los Dinos"!

1838
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:28,583
Now we will see the latest filming...

1839
01:55:58,375 --> 01:56:02,208
"Selena Los Dinos Band"

1840
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:16,791
Translation of "May Badr"
