Selena Quintanilla-Pérez BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles just unveiled its dazzling pop-up exhibit Selena From Texas to the World on January 15, a must-see showcase of the Queen of Tejanos most glittering treasures, open through March 16. According to KSAT and the Los Angeles Times, highlights include the sparkling bustier and gold hoops from her Amor Prohibido album cover, the white beaded Lillie Rubin gown she rocked at the 1994 Grammys, her actual Grammy trophy plus the 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award, her red-lipstick-smeared microphone, teenage fashion sketches, personal cell phone, and even quirky fake eggs she collected. Family instruments shine too, like sister Suzette Quintanillas drums, brother A.B. Quintanilla IIIs bass, and husband Chris Perezs guitars, including the one for his badass solo on Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. Curator Kelsey Goelz collaborated closely with estate executor Suzette, who told the crowd at opening night, after a screening of the award-winning doc Selena y Los Dinos and a Los Dinos panel, I hope visitors walk away understanding Selena the person and artist were one, real and magnetic. Perez shared his nerves loaning those babies, crediting her voice for the icon status, while fans like impersonator Kendra Avila and collector Alex Ramirez flew in, gushing over the outfits displayed near Michael Jacksons gloves. Tejano Nation reports the event drew buzz with a new Selena mural by Mister Toledo outside. No fresh album drops or public sightings of the family this week beyond the exhibit hype, though a free tribute concert by Anything for Salinas is slated for Desert Hot Springs on August 29 via Eventbrite. Social media lit up with fan posts from the premiere, but no verified estate mentions or business moves popped in the last few days. This exhibit feels like a biographical milestone, cementing her crossover legacy 31 years post-tragedy on a mainstream Grammy stage.
