Amazon.com essential recording With so many products still flooding the market to commemorate--and cash in on--the tragic death of Tejano queen Selena, it's easy to forget what made her so special in the first place. Beneath all the books, movies, documentaries, and failed musicals, however, is the music. Selena's energy, talent, and joyous spirit are perfectly captured on Live, the Last Concert, the seventh posthumous release from EMI Latin. (A collection of remastered early recordings was released in February by Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla.) The concert took place February 26, 1995, as part of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and it has been meticulously remastered for this release. From the introductory "Disco Medley" to the bittersweet cumbia "Como la Flor," Selena works the crowd effortlessly, who respond with thunderous applause and enthusiastic sing-alongs. Every moment on this stellar disc is infused with a thrilling urgency, thanks to Selena's rich, throaty vocals and passionate delivery. The lighthearted "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is surprisingly solid in the live format; and Selena transforms "La Carcacha," a fun cumbia about her boyfriend's clunker of a car, into a full-throttle Latin pop epic. There's never a false moment here, and Live, the Last Concert stands as a testament to the light that still illuminates the hopes of Selena and the hearts of her unwavering fan base. It's also one of the year's best releases--in any language. --Joey Guerra Similar CDs

CD ReviewsWow! R. Rua Rodriguez | San Juan, Puerto Rico United States | 04/17/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Amazing! There's no other word I can use to describe this album. Since Selena's death in March 31, 1995, I have been waiting the release of this CD. After I bought it, the first thing I did was opening it and put it in my car's CD player. What an experience! I just could not believe that Selena is actually dead. I felt her presence, her passion, her energy, her talent. Wow! I bought it today and I have listened to it like five times. I am definitely going to burn it in the next days. So many hits: "Amor Prohibido", "Baila Esta Cumbia", "Techno Cumbia", "El Chico Del Apartamento 512", "La Carcacha", "Como La Flor"! Selena's whole career in 50 minutes of live music with that magic touch she gave to her music in live performances. Even though this is a compilation of old hits, I think it should win the Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album next year! Definitely, Selena's music will keep her memory alive in the hearts of her fans forever!" Dreaming Of You, Selena! Melissa | Virginia Beach, VA USA | 03/30/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "All i have to say is wow! Selena really was the artist of the people and with this cd you can tell that her heart was into her music as well as her fans, which was nothing new for Selena. I have been a fan of Selena's for years now, sadly many Americans didnt come to know our angel until after her death. This cd will give everyone that didnt know about her and her fans the feeling out being at the unforgetable concert Febuary 1995. Her music came to touch us all and her death left a imprint in our heart, never will the world see another Selena. I listen to her cd's everysingle day and even though the 6 year anniversary of her death is just days away i find myself crying. A person has never touched me the way Selena has, the pain is still so deep and i would do ANYTHING to have her back with us. Someone once told me that Selena wouldnt want her fan in pain, she would want her (me) to move on with my life. I have but i still cant get over the fact that Selena's gone. Our loss was heavens gain. *Special Note For Selena*... We all miss you down here so much, i would give anything to have you back with us singing and bringing everyone joy. You have left an impack on the world and for that it's a better place. I know you're up in heaven with those electric lights on singing your heart out. WE LOVE YOU SELENA!" La Reina Tejana lives on! M. Torres | Atlanta, GA | 05/12/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Selena Quintanilla Perez was without a doubt one of the finest singers of our generation....in any language. This CD shows just how popular and loved she was. It's heartbreaking to hear, and know we will never again be able to see her perform. Buy this cd, and honor her memory by fulfilling your own dreams in a positive way! Viva Selena......para siempre!"
