Google Doodle celebrates pop icon Selena Quintanilla
The Doodle marks the 28th anniversary of her first studio album release.
Google on Tuesday honored Mexican-America singer Selena Quintanilla with her own Google Doodle.
The logo placed above every Google search Tuesday comes out the same day Quintanilla released her first studio album, self-titled “Selena,” in 1989. The Doodle includes a short YouTube video highlighting her life and music.
Born in Lake Jackson, Texas, on April 16, 1971, Quintanilla started developing her singing talents at an early age and became a star of Tejano music, a Texas-born style that blends Mexican and American genres including pop and ranchera.
She won a Grammy for best Mexican/American album in 1993, making her the first female and youngest Tejano artist to win the award.
