Suzette Quintanilla joins us for a special chat on Selena Quintanilla's life and powerful legacy. In October of 2017, Google launched a Google Doodle celebrating Selena Quintanilla, one of the most celebrated and beloved Mexican-American artists and entertainers in history and often named the "Queen of Tejano Music." In light of this celebration, Selena's sister and former bandmate joined us at Google San Francisco.

Selena’s contributions to music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th century. In 2020, Billboard magazine put her in third place on their list of "Greatest Latino Artists of All Time", based on both Latin albums and Latin songs chart. Media outlets called her the "Tejano Madonna" for her clothing choices. She also ranks among the most influential Latin artists of all time and is credited for catapulting the Tejano genre into the mainstream market. Selena has sold 18 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling female artists in Latin music.
