[1/2] 𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝕋𝔼ℕ: Another cover, 𝗧𝘂, 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗼 𝗧𝘂 was written by Felipe Valdés Leal, a Mexican song writer, in 1949. There have been several covers of this song, but the most memorable, in my opinion, was Selena’s version from the 𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙔𝙤𝙪 album. It originally was made for the movie 𝘿𝙤𝙣 𝙅𝙪𝙖𝙣 𝘿𝙚𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙤 released in 1995 with Marlon Brando, Johnny Depp, & Faye Dunaway.

[2/2] When Selena recorded this song, she was sick, so her voice had a bit more raspy tone to it. She hesitated in recording because she didn’t want it to sound bad, but after her dad pushed her to give it a try, it turned out to be perfect and the hoarse voice blended well with the ranchera / mariachi style of the song.

𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝔼𝕃𝔼𝕍𝔼ℕ: This was the last single from Selena’s self titled album, 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙖. 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗼𝘀 is a cumbia track where it talks about needing your significant other’s kisses, all day, every day and wanting to be told you’re their only one. It sounds very playful and fun. Based off the Netflix series, it sounds like the song was originally going to be in a bit slower tempo. Whether this is dramatization for the show or real, I’m glad they stuck to the faster paced song. #Besitos #Selena #SelfTitled

𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝕋ℍ𝕀ℝ𝕋𝔼𝔼ℕ: Selena’s first solo music video was 𝗟𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮 from the album 𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙈𝙞 𝙈𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙤. The song talks about a woman who’s boyfriend maybe isn’t the best looking, doesn’t have the nicest car, isn’t rich, but treats her like a Queen. When released, the song didn’t chart, but in the 2010’s, it entered the Latin charts and was certified triple platinum in the US. #LaCarcacha #SelenaYLosDinos #SelenaLaLeyenda #SelenaQuintanillaPerez #EntreaMiMundo

This was originally a Japanese song performed by Kyu Sakamoto. There have been several covers of this song, but Selena Y Los Dinos recorded a Spanish translated version from Janice-Marie Johnson lyrics. The music remained mostly unchanged. This became a really popular song and honestly is very soothing and relaxing.

𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝕋𝕎𝔼ℕ𝕋𝕐-𝕋𝕎𝕆: One of my favorite songs, 𝗦𝗶 𝗟𝗮 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀 is from the album 𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙈𝙞 𝙈𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙤. It’s about a women who tells her friend to go after the girl he likes while secretly she’s also in love with him but knows he doesn’t feel the same. I remember being in my teen years, listening to this song and really feeling like I lost the love of my life. HA! I know of the 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙚! album but I don’t remember seeing or hearing of many other performances. #SiLaQuieres #SelenaYLosDinos #Selena #EntreaMiMundo
