It's been over two decades since the beloved, talented, and charismatic Selena Quintanilla passed away. Her legacy, however, is stronger that ever. March 31st marks 21 years since the irreplaceable Queen of Tejano died. Though the gloomy day of March 31st, 1995 is still a clear vision to fans, we focus on all the happy moments that she left.
For example, every one of her washing-machine dance moves on YouTube. Her captivating pearly white smile, along with her addicting laughter. The powerful messages sent via her lyrics, such as "Ya No" and "Tu Que Creeias?" Also the happy-go-lucky tunes that remain a hit, such as "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" and "Baila Esta Cumbia." And how can we forget the way this Mexican-American goddess treated her fans? Yes, she's gone but never forgotten.
In honor of her 21st death anniversary, we put together a list with all of the reasons you should check out the 2nd Annual Fiesta de la Flor. The music festival kicked off in 2015 for Selena's 20th death anniversary. The sold-out inaugural event drew nearly 55,000 fans from all over the world; however, this year it's expected to garner over 70,000 fans. Fiesta de la Flor 2016, which is already becoming a tradition for fans, will run from May 6 to 7 in Texas. With that said, check out some of the reasons you won't want to miss this year's pachanga!
