Selena Quintanilla, the late queen of Tejano music, is caught here in her final performance in Houston, Texas. More a cultural than a solely musical phenomenon, Selena provided American Latinos and Latinas with a bona fide pop star, and unfortunately their first bona fide pop casualty. Here she works her magic on a medley of '70s Anglo disco classics before slipping into more familiar Tejano territory with her biggest hit, "Amor Prohibido" and a slew of crowd-pleasing classics. Her band is tight and adept (her brother plays bass); the crowd goes predictably wild at every opportunity. As a document of Selena's undeniable live appeal, LIVE THE LAST CONCERT is invaluable, and essential for all true Selena fans.

The queen of Mexican pop music from the 1980s until her death in 1995, Selena Quintanilla had roots in the Tejano music of her native Mexico, but did more than anyone to introduce the Mexican pop scene into the worldwide mainstream with a sound equally influenced by dance music, R&B, and '80s pop/rock. Selena was recording her first English-language album and was on the verge of a huge international breakthrough when she was murdered at the age of 23 by the crazed president of her fan club. In a tragic irony, that album raced to Number One and Selena achieved posthumous iconic status. Two years later, the biopic SELENA was released, with Jennifer Lopez in the title role.
