Anything for Selena Quintanilla! Google Celebrates The Late Tejano Star’s 28th Anniversary of Debut Album

The technology giant created a musical doodle showcasing the late singer’s rise to fame, and we’re already obsessed.

Google never forgets.

Selena Quintanilla dropped her first album ever 28 years ago, and today Google is paying tribute. The technology giant created a musical doodle showcasing the late singer’s rise to fame, and we’re already obsessed.

Have a look for yourself below:

Perla Campos, Global Marketing Lead for Google Doodles, co-created the illustration and described Selena y Los Dinos’ early beginnings in a blog post:

“First playing at the family restaurant, quiceañeras, and fairs, the band’s humble beginnings — including sitting on equipment due to the lack of formal seating in their inaugural tour bus ‘Big Bertha’ — eventually led to high profile touring. But they also fought through hard times and adversity. In fact, Selena was frequently discriminated against in the male-dominated music genre, and some venues even refused to book the band for shows.”

Did you know Selena was the first woman to win a Grammy for best Mexican/American album?

"Aside from incredible dance moves and how to belt some serious notes, watching Selena taught me that being Latina was a powerful thing, and that with hard work and focus I could do whatever I set my mind to," Campos said.

Her legacy will live on forever.
