Texas Music Magazine
Editor’s Note: For several years, we’ve been discussing how best to feature Selena in our magazine. She is, after all, a legend of Texas music who like Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Bob Wills and Willie Nelson was an extraordinarily influential musician and cultural icon. Remembering her on the 25th anniversary of her death (March 1995) seemed an appropriate way to reflect on her career and impact. Our plan was to feature Selena on the cover of our Spring 2020 issue, which would have been on newsstands in March. COVID prevented publication of that issue, but we’d feel remiss if we didn’t make this piece available to readers as 2020 draws to a close. We hope you enjoy our tribute to the Queen of Tejano.
