6 Rare Interview and Performance
9/12/2017

RARE Selena video, not seen in more than 20 years was found and digitized by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. This footage of Selena on the program "Tejano USA" was found in a TV camera donated to the museum's Spanish-language television project by Univision, the parent company of San Antonio's KWEX-TV, Channel 41. The station's production manager put an unlabeled 3/4 inch tape in the camera to show what format that camera used.
When the museum digitized the video this summer, the Selena footage was discovered. The production manager, who actually directed the segment with Selena, tells the museum that after Selena passed away in 1995, he had looked everywhere for the video with no luck. The video resurfaced just as the museum planned to open a display on Hispanic Advertising that includes the Tejana artists' work as a spokesperson for Coca-Cola.

4 Memories of Selena at The Smithsonian
9/12/2017

From the 1950s to 1970s, U.S. advertising started to shift from mass marketing to recognizing and defining distinct target markets. A unique example of this includes the rise of Selena Quintanilla-Perez (1971-1995), whose hard-won fame spoke to a large cross-section of fans in the United States, in Latin American markets, and across the world. A new display opening September 12, 2017, in our American Enterprise exhibition explores marketing history and this pop icon.
Selena's family donated one of her performance costumes to the museum in 1999, shortly after I arrived as the director of public affairs. This outfit, with its leather boots, spandex pants, satin bustier, and motorcycle jacket, was iconic of what our then curator of Latino history and culture Marvette Perez described as Selena's idiosyncratic style, "wavering between sexy rebel and Mexican American good girl." We placed the costume on view in 2001 as part of Moda y Musica: Stage, Fashion, and Style, a display of four showcases featuring Hispanic performers and designers. Raised speaking English, Selena had to learn to sing Spanish phonetically. Ironically, her "cross-over" material for English-language radio was not released until the end of her career.
In life, and in death, Selena meant many things to many people. Her significance to Tejano music and the efforts for her to "cross-over" to English music are not lost on anyone, but it is her impact as a businessperson that we are now able to get a sense of as we look back. If her life had not been cut tragically short, there is no telling what she could have accomplished, but her ongoing popularity is a testament to her significance in American culture.
Despite the passage of time, Selena still has a huge impact on her original fans and on new generations of fans.
In the American Enterprise exhibition, the objects that will highlight Selena's contributions to Hispanic advertising history include her leather motorcycle jacket and beaded bra, photographs from the Coca-Cola advertising campaign, and Selena memorabilia that help to illustrate her personality, style, impact, and powerful fandom. The exhibit will give the public a chance to see pieces of who she was and the gorgeous music that she created.

1 Selena Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star
11/3/2017

Selena is now among 89 Latino artists who have received the honor, according to a list compiled by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which oversees the Walk of Fame. (She joined the likes of Celia Cruz, Ritchie Valens and Jennifer Lopez, the singer-actress whose career took off after portraying Selena in a 1997 biopic.)
Los Angeles will now be remembering the singer every year too. At Friday's ceremony, Mayor Eric Garcetti proclaimed Nov. 3 "Selena Day". Los Angeles is not the first, and probably not the last, city to do so.
To this day, Selena's admirers have kept her flame alive through Facebook groups, fan sites, murals, tribute performances and parties to both celebrate her birthday and remember her death.
"She accomplished so much for such a young age," said Roger Gomez, a fan from Santa Ana who manages LoveSelena.com, a website that's been around since 1995. "She represents the whole American dream. She made it, and we could too."
"Our parents showed us Selena. Now we're showing our kids Selena," Gomez said, adding that her new Walk of Fame star is another accolade to cement her legacy. "In a way it's a stamp of approval. It's another place I could say, 'Selena is here.'"
Selena's sister agrees.
"The Hollywood Walk of Fame is the key mother of all those beautiful stars in different cities," Suzette Quintanilla said. "The walk is prestigious; it marks you as a very important artist.
A record breaking crowd of over 4,500 Selena fans showed up to the event making it the largest crowd in Hollywood history! At the ceremony, Selena was awarded 7 Diamond selling albums as well as 75 times platinum career singles certifying Selena as the top Latin recording artist!
