29 years have passed since the singer’s terrible murder Selena Quintanilla at the hands of Yolanda Saldívar, her ‘friend’ and president of her ‘Fan Club.’ And although the tragedy marked the end of the ‘earthly’ career of the so-called ‘Queen of Tex-Mex,’ her legacy is still present globally. For this reason, it is not surprising that other great Latin stars always keep in mind the memory of the interpreter of ‘Como La Flor.’ Such is the case of the famous Shakirawho recently paid tribute to Selena through a video belonging to his most recent single.
Shakira’s glamorous and emotional tribute to Selena Quintanilla
Through a video created for the recent single ‘Entre Paréntesis,’ Shakira showed dance steps very related to those he did Selena Quintanilla when I was on stage. The above was complemented when the Barranquilla native wore a sexy two-piece black suit, very similar to the one she used to wear as the lead singer of ‘Amor Prohibido.’ And since the Colombian took the opportunity to do a duet with the sought-after Grupo Frontera, she used a photo of your Instagram account to dedicate a message to Selena: My little tribute with all my love to Selena, one of the most beautiful and great artists of all time!
The song ‘Entre Paréntesis,’ is just one of the promising pieces present on the new album ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,’ and although its lyrics were released a few weeks ago, Shakira waited a bit to launch the video and talk about the tribute he dedicated to one of his favorite singers since he was a teenager. Regarding the duet performed with Grupo Frontera (who indirectly played the role of ‘Los Dinos’ in the video), the Colombian said she was very lucky: A great honor for me to collaborate with Grupo Frontera. I’m so happy you are enjoying the video. It was very fun to do it.
It is worth mentioning that Shakira had already honored Selena Quintanilla on other occasions, making clear his attachment and musical inspiration towards her. For example, the occasion in 2002 when the Colombian was a guest at the ‘Otro Rollo’ program hosted by Adal Ramones stands out. At that time, Shakira performed the chorus of ‘Amor Prohibido,’ surprising all viewers and becoming the protagonist of one of the most iconic moments on television in Latin America.
