5 Cover Songs for Selena’s Birthday

Here are five Selena cover songs in honor of her birthday weekend! Happy Birthday Selena!

Selena Quintanilla was a shining force in the Tejano music scene. With a musician father as her manager and bandmate siblings, she captivated audiences across the world with her powerful-yet-velvety vocals, sparkling charm and glamorous style. Who can forget her washing machine dance moves, that ginormous laugh and the ability to make us cry and dance all within one song? Selena had such a special gift which is why all our hearts shattered in disbelief and grief when she unnecessarily passed away at 23 in 1995.

She would have been a very young 45 tomorrow, April 16. We miss her so much, which is why we will always celebrate her memory and talent. She lives forever in our hearts! Check out this video. That smile, that energy! It’s easy to see why she was so loved!

It undoubtedly still lives on as so many young artists pay tribute to the amazing Selena. I wanted to find some amazing and fun covers of Selena’s music in honor of her birthday this weekend.

Did these covers get you in the celebration mood or what? They made me instantly turn on Selena in my Spotify and all the memories growing up came back. Selena continues to have an influence in pop culture to this day with the release of her Mac cosmetic collection due out later this year. Also, there is the annual Fiesta de la Flor Music Festival that celebrates the life & legacy of Selena in Corpus Christi from May 6-7. This shows the impact that Selena has and there isn’t anything stopping her legacy!

Wait, how about one more? Here’s a cover of Si Una Vez one by Cáthia!
