To commemorate the musical legacy of the queen of Tex-Mex, a musical tribute has been organized for Selena, who passed away on March 31, 1995.
On this day, there will be an Easter egg hunt and Easter basket giveaways.
As you may recall, Selena made history in 1994 by becoming the first woman in Tejano music to win a Grammy. Her style blended mariachi, cumbia, polka, and waltz, characteristic of Tex-Mex. With her success, she became one of the biggest stars in Spanish-language music and earned a star on the Walk of Fame in 2017.
If you have singing talent and would like to participate by singing or dancing, you can join the list of those who will be paying tribute to Selena that day by calling 831-210-5215.
The event is on April 20th, starting at 11 a.m., at 925 N Sanborn Rd, Salinas. Admission is free.
