On March 9th, Capitol Latin/EMI will release “La Leyenda” (“The Legend”) to celebrate the work of the late, great Selena Quintanilla-Perez. Per the press release, “La Leyenda will be available as a 4CD box set, a 2CD deluxe edition, and a single-disc hits collection. The box set includes an exclusive Selena charm and an extensive, bound book with personal messages from Selena’s family, friends and fans, as well as rare photos and art from her family’s collection, and the 2CD deluxe edition features an extensive booklet. All three configurations will also be available for download purchase from all major digital service providers, accompanied by digital booklets with the personal messages, photos and artwork.” Selena made an impact on the lives of young girls EVERYWHERE, particularly here in the Southwest. Latina or NOT, you couldn’t help but be drawn to not only her music, but her beauty and charismatic charm. Had she lived, Selena would celebrate her 39th birthday on April 16th. RIP
