Ep. 25: Selena - Amor Prohibido

EarWax: An Amoeba Podcast

We found 1994 so cozy last week that we're staying right there for our twenty-fifth episode! How about a trip down to Texas to visit an absolute icon - Selena!
Amor Prohibido is a flashpoint for Tejano music, and a huge influence on Latin music's injection into the pop consciousness. Hilary and Cody talk about the value of "crossing over" onto the pop charts, as well as Selena's ability to weave her vocals throughout the mesh of styles found on this album.
A feast of sounds, songwriting, and instrumentation, the music on Amor Prohibido provides the rich backdrop for Selena to show out and establish herself on the list of music icons.
