Sounds of Summer at JBFC: Selena
Born into a musical Mexican-American family in Texas, Selena Quintanilla grew up singing at her father’s restaurant and local fairs. Eventually, she would become one of the most celebrated artists in Latin music, dubbed the Queen of Tejano music. Filmmaker Gregory Nava (El Norte) charts the course of the superstar’s journey—from daughter of an aspiring musician to celebrated singer—with a stellar cast that includes Jennifer Lopez, Edward James Olmos, and Lupe Ontiveros.
