In this episode, we discuss the tejana music star, Selena Quintanilla Perez. We look at her history in the music industry, the reactions of audiences, and the reception of her music in Mexico and the United States. We then talk about her death, especially as it relates to fan reactions and how, in some ways, her death overshadowed her life in mainstream pop-culture. Finally we consider the impact Selena had both during her lifetime and after it, including her impact on the Latin music scene of the 1990s and beyond.

Trigger warnings: brief discussion of murder, sexual assault
