With accompaniment from her band, Los Dinos, Selena conquers the house and, even though sheís playing to tens of thousands of fans, the concert retains a feeling of intimacy and warmth that can only be attributed to the woman behind the microphone; a true legend and an artist that paved the way for so many that have come after her. The world of Latin music has entered the mainstream conscious of America now with more and more artists acknowledging and celebrating their roots in song, but letís not forget the Celia Cruzís of the world, who were able to leave legacies of recorded workÖor the brilliant but all too short burst of light known as Selena.
