Selena (film)

There is such a direction in pop music - the techno - fiery style, popular in the south of the USA and in Mexico, a mixture of pop music and rock, polka, rhythm and blues with Latin American motifs. Olmos, in the role of an American of Mexican descent, who had once failed in the field of a rock musician, decided to make his talented daughter, nine-year-old Selena (for the first time on the screen, Rebecca Lee Mesa in the role of Selena in childhood), and children - musicians. He called the group "Selena and Los Dinos" and achieved the first performance. Selena Quintanilla Perez lived up to her father’s hopes, and the whole America fell in love with the techno style, as evidenced by the Grammy Award. The singer died tragically when she was only 23 years old.
