“I remixed all her vinyls and just, with this album, with an EDM world, with arpeggiators and with keyboards, I made her flow to cumbia. Normal songs that were not normally recorded in cumbia.”
At this time an exact date for the album has not been released but it will reportedly be sometime in the spring.
What was Selena’s cause of death?
Selena Quintanilla-Pérez was born on April 16, 1971, in Lake Jackson, Texas.
She had previously risen to fame in 1987 at the age of 15 after she won the Tejano Music Award for Female Entertainer of the Year, but was then murdered in 1995 at the age of 23.
The late singer was shot by her former fan club president Yolanda Saldívar, 61, who was fired after the family discovered she had embezzled money from Selena’s fan club and boutiques.
At the time Selena had agreed to meet Saldívar at a Days Inn motel in Corpus Christi to retrieve financial records she had been refusing to turn over but she then took a .38 Taurus Model 85 revolver from her purse and shot her once in the back, severing an artery.
Saldívar was then convicted of First-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
She will be eligible for parole on March 30, 2025.
