Selena y Los Dinos (English: Selena and The Guys) was the band which Grammy Award winning Tejano music singer Selena belonged to until her death that occurred on March 31, 1995. Selena fronted the band since 1980, by her father, when Selena was sighed with EMI Latin records, president Jose Behar told Selena that the world wanted Selena, not Los Dinos, as he told her with no disrespect and with honor. Selena then began releasing her studio albums under her own logo title Selena and not Selena Y Los Dinos. Before, Selena was signed with EMI, the band sold more than 80,000 copies in the state of Texas alone, and raging in different record companies such as Freddie Records, Cara Records, and GP Productions. The band was created when Selena was nine years old and her father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr; who discovered her amazing voice. He immediately spread their musical talents (which he pursued himself in his earlier days) among his three children. Suzette Quintanilla, Selena’s sister, was put on drums. A.B. Quintanilla III, Selena’s brother, was put on the bass guitar. The family first showcased their band at street corners, sweet 15 parties, and other family gatherings until Selena’s father Abraham Quintanilla Jr (the bands manager) opened up a much needed Mexican restaurant in Lake Jackson, Texas called Papágayos (English: Parrots) in 1981. Unfortunately, the restaurant began to lose their costumers, when the rescission of 1982 hit south Texas. The restaurant was then forced to foreclosure. Soon after the restaurant’s closure, the family began to move their musical aspirations to Corpus Christi, Texas. There, Selena began to be more popular as a respected child singer. Within a year the family’s restaurant went bankrupt[10] and the family was forced to move in with relatives as Abraham Quintanilla Jr, had quit his job to manage the restaurant full-time.

When the album was completed, president and owner of Freddie Records, told Abraham Quintanilla Jr that his band Selena Y Los Dinos, aren’t professionally ready to record and release a full length album, undetermined, Abraham Quintanilla Jr dropped his own record deal with Freddie Records and walked. While still under the record deal, Selena’s father came upon another small local Texas record company called Cara Records. The rumored album The New Girl in Town was never pressed in stores, but singles from Cara Records were sold separately and promotionally around the state of Texas. In 1986, GP Productions, who discovered Selena Y Los Dinos performing, sigh the group for a yearly record contract. Selena and her band were in the recording studio soon after the agreement.
