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.
