Selena
A celebration of the life of Tejano princess Selena Quintanilla Perez, the rising star who was gunned down by the president of her own fan club in 1995. Amid the racial tensions and economic hardships of 1980's South Texas, the daughter of a Mexican immigrant (himself a failed doo-wop singer) grows up to be a sensation in the blossoming Tejano scene before meeting a tragic end. Light on insight, this biopic revels rather in Selena's on-stage achievements. Selena's father is credited as an executive producer to the film.

Cheesy but good!
This was a LOT cheesier than I remember, but it was still enjoyable - very dated but I think it would be a fair representation of the dinger and her life.

El Cantante

I suspect there is only a small minority of the UK audience who could tell you much about Hector Lavoe – the “King of Salsa”. Which may be why El Cantante has taken a year to get across the...
