[1/2] DAY ONE: The first track is Disco Medley off of The Last Concert. I want to say this is my first introduction as to what "disco" was.

Since then, it's grown to be one of my favorite genres. I love this track so much because it mixes 5 different songs together.

DAY TWO: Keeping with songs Selena covered (and in my opinion made better) is Fotos y Recuerdos. This is a cover / remake of a song called Back On The Chain Gang by The Prentenders. This was on Selena's last album she released, Amor Prohibido. #FotosYRecuerdos #SelenaYLosDinos #SelenaLaLeyenda #SelenaQuintanillaPerez #AmorProhibido

DAY THREE: Another song Selena y Los Dinos covered was La Bamba. I think the most notable rendition of the song was from Ritchie Valens. The reason why I like Selena y Los Dinos' version so much is that you can tell it's from their early days. Selena didn't speak Spanish in the earlier years and in the song, you can hear her say, "Oye tu, ven pa'qua" instead of "ven pa'ca". This song is from her self titled 1989 album, Selena. #LaBamba #SelenaYLosDinos #SelenaLaLeyenda #SelenaQuintanillaPerez

𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝔽𝕆𝕌ℝ: ¿𝗤𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗮𝘀? is one of my favorites. This comes from the 𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙈𝙞 𝙈𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙤 album. This ranchera style song was so fun to watch Selena perform live. She would bring up an audience member to the stage who was her “boyfriend” and demonstrate how to break up with them. At the end, she would always ask the audience to give a round of applause to her “ex-boyfriend”. #QueCreias #SelenaYLosDinos #SelenaLaLeyenda #SelenaQuintanillaPerez #EntreaMiMundo

𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝔽𝕀𝕍𝔼: Probably one of the oldest songs, 𝗦𝗼𝘆 𝗔𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗮 (and then later on 𝗦𝗼𝘆 𝗔𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗮 [𝗔.𝗕. 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗜𝗜𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘅]) is from when Selena was 14 years old. It was originally on an album called 𝘼𝙡𝙥𝙝𝙖 but was later re-released on the album 𝙎𝙞𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙖 after she passed away. I really like the remixed version that came out in 2015 the best. It adds a cumbia instrumental along with her vocals being sped up to fit the new beat. #Selena #SelenaQuintanillaPerez #SelenaYLosDinos #SelenaLaLeyenda #SoyAmiga

𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝕊𝕀𝕏: 𝗕𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗮 is off of the album 𝙑𝙚𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙤. This was named, by critics, as one of the best recordings in Selena’s career. In 2005, A.B. Quintanilla III y Los Kumbia Kings made a remix version of this song, which was featured as the lead single of 𝘿𝙪𝙚𝙩𝙤𝙨 by Los Kumbia Kings. The remix was also performed on 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙖 ¡𝙑𝙞𝙫𝙚!, a benefit concert held for the 10th anniversary of Selena’s passing. #BailaEstaCumbia #SelenaYLosDinos #SelenaLaLeyenda #SelenaQuintanillaPerez #SelenaVIVE

[1/2] 𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝕊𝔼𝕍𝔼ℕ: This is, by far, my favorite song. 𝗕𝗶𝗱𝗶 𝗕𝗶𝗱𝗶 𝗕𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝗼𝗺 off the album 𝘼𝙢𝙤𝙧 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙝𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙙𝙤 was a signature Selena song. This song started out as just a filler song at gigs for sound checks. Selena came up with words about a fish feeling so free in the sea. Originally it was sung in English but once Selena & Pete Astudillo actually wrote the words, they change it to Spanish. This song is a Mexican cumbia with a bit of rock en español & reggae influences.

[2/2] I remember watching the video & wanting to be there on that beach with everyone, having a good time. In 2012, 𝙀𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙖 𝘿𝙚 𝙏𝙞, a remix album was released which included 𝗕𝗶𝗱𝗶 𝗕𝗶𝗱𝗶 𝗕𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝗼𝗺 as a duet between Selena & Selena Gomez while still keeping a similar sound to the song. #BidiBidiBomBom #AmorProhibido #SelenaYLosDinos #SelenaLaLeyenda #SelenaQuintanillaPerez #PeteAstudillo #EnamoradaDeTi #SelenaGomez

𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝔼𝕀𝔾ℍ𝕋: 𝗣𝘂𝗲𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿 is a song by Selena and Puerto Rican / Dominican singer, Nando “Guero” Dominguez. This was originally supposed to be released on Nando’s album, but was having trouble with getting the tone right. Selena recorded the song and then later, after she was killed, it was released as the only single from her greatest hits collection, 𝙈𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙨 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙤𝙨. The song reach number 40 on the Latin Singles Airplay chart. This was the last song Selena ever recorded. #SelenaLaLeyenda #Selena

𝔻𝔸𝕐 ℕ𝕀ℕ𝔼: 𝗟𝗮 𝗟𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗮 was released on the album 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙚! And uptempo Mexican cumbia song about women empowerment. I loved the video so much, I wanted to be part of the group of people hanging out there. Of course I was a kid when I first seen it but I still do, even now as an adult. #LaLlamada #Live #SelenaYLosDinos #SelenaLaLeyenda #SelenaQuintanillaPerez
