(20 YEARS OF MUSIC)

A world-class re-issue of her albums, with new photographs, redesigned artwork, and commentary narrated by members of her band and her family, relating anecdotes of how the songs were created and what they were thinking in those moments. Also to be issued is a Greatest Hits compilation and her first collection of videos in DVD format, accompanied by a documentary of her life.

On August 27 the most complete musical anthology of Selena will see the light of day. Released in three phases and with a total of 10 albums, “20 Años de Música” encompasses every album from the career of the Queen of Tejano Music, going back to her beginnings, and continuing through her rise to stardom. It includes all of the hits that helped her sell over 16 million units in a two-decade career.

The first two phases center on the Limited Edition re-issue of her first nine original albums, including the “Selena” movie soundtrack. The difference between these re-issues and the original versions is very clear. Every single song has been completely re-mastered. Extra material, such as songs and videos, have been added to each album. Each album includes previously unpublished photographs of the singer and complete lyrics. In addition, those closest to her contributed recorded commentary - her husband Chris Pérez, her siblings A. B. Quintanilla III who was also her producer, Suzette Quintanilla, and her father Abraham Quintanilla Jr. This commentary, produced by Suzette Quintanilla, relates the story of the songs from the point of view of Selena's band and her family members.

Selena “20 Años de Música” in its third phase features the release of her greatest hits in an album titled “Ones!” with 20 of her most popular songs. Also, a special edition of “Ones!” will include a DVD with a collection of audio-remastered videos at 5.1and the documentary “Selena Remembered,” which is narrated by the famed actor Edward James Olmos, who personified the singer's father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., in the unforgettable bio-pic, “Selena.”

The legacy of Selena reaches beyond the millions of albums, or the numerous awards she obtained such as the Grammy, Premios Lo Nuestro, Billboard and Tejano Music Awards. Selena wrote one of the greatest chapters of Hispanic music in the world, because she sparked interest in Latin music produced in the United States, and made it universal, among people of all ages, cultures and social classes.
