The father of the late Selena Quintanilla – the "Queen of Tejano" – says a new album will come out, almost three decades after her death. Abraham Quintanilla said in an interview with Latin Groove News that the album set to be released next month contains 13 songs and A.B. Quintanilla, Selena's brother, worked on it.
"Selena's been gone 26 years now," he said last week. "It's amazing how fast time flies... What amazes me, and Suzette, my family, A.B., is that 26 years later and the public still remembers Selena. They haven't let go of her. They're waiting for a project like this to come out, and I know it will be well received by the public."
Quintanilla said there's a "unique" element of the album: Recordings of Selena when she was 13 years old were digitally updated to sound as if she was 23 years old – the age Selena was before she was killed in 1995.
