Amor Prohibido

Amazon.com essential recording
Released in March 1994 exactly a year before Selena would be shot and killed by her ex-fan club president, this CD demonstrates a band at the peak of its creative force. The hits were obvious--the eloquent "Amor Prohibido," on love conducted in secret, and "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom," a magical pop tune that could work in any dance club. "Cobarde" and "El Chico" were easy cumbias to like; "Fotos y Recuerdos" was an ironic message on having only photographs and memories left. But highly underrated was the lovely and stoic "No Me Queda Mas," on facing the end, yet keeping a sense of dignity and self-worth. --Ramiro Burr

A final masterpiece!.......2006-11-05

***** "Amor Prohibido" The first single and title track which hit # 1 in 1994 on the Hot Latin Billboard Charts. A great song and video. Beautiful melody and lyrics. This song actually tells the real life story of Selena's grandparents who in fact lived a "Forbidden Love".

***** "No Me Queda Mas" Her final video in which Selena wears her now famous white beaded gown which she also wore to the Grammy awards earlier in the year (1994). A beautiful song with powerful vocals and lyrics. A very heartfelt and romantic ballad. One of the best songs Selena ever recorded. Because of the success of the album "Amor Prohibido" (which sold over 400,000 copies before her death) EMI - Latin / Captial records re-released the album and included a re-recorded version of "No Me Queda Mas".

*** "Cobarde" A true Tejano song! Telling it how it is when a man is cowardly.

***** "Fotos Y Recuerdos" A cover of The Pretenders classic hit "Back On The Chain Gang". Although it reached # 1 a week after her murder it was obvious that this would have been the follow up single to "No Me Queda Mas".

**** "El Chico Del Apartamento 512" A major hit on the charts with very funny and silly lyrics.

***** "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" The follow up single to "Amor Prohibido" which was actually penned by Selena. Original performed in 1993 in English for the concert "Selena Live" but did not appear on the album. This song was very popular with children because of the catchy chorus.

*** "Techno Cumbia" This song gained more attention when it was remixed and released in 1995 on the posthumous multi platinum album "Dreaming Of You" in which it appeared as a Reggae version.

*** Tus Desprecios" One of the only Tejano sounding songs on the album. A reminisce of classic Selena hits such as "Mentiras" and "Ven Conmigo".

**** "Si Una Vez" A very successful song and fan favorite. Mixing Mariachi and Cumbia all into one.

***** "Ya No" Although this song only briefly danced onto the Billboard Charts it is still a great song. It was remixed for the # 1 album "Siempre Selena".

Selena's Best Album .......2006-03-30

Selena is a true artist of the people.While working on her English language album she decided to put out this album.I am glad Selena Y Los Dinos put this out because it spawned the most hits...Every song on this album was a radio hit.It reached #1 on the Latin charts and stayed #1 for 53 weeks and it was a success...It reached #29 on Billboard 200 and achieved 2 platinum status.There is not a song on here I don't like


1. Amor Prohibido
This is an amazing track.This was a #1 smash for Selena and still played on the radios today.
2. No Me Queda Mas
A true latin classic.This song is amazing.I never get tired of hearing it.Everytime I hear it..I feel like I am hearing it for the first time.
3. Cobarde
A radio hit song.She sang this one live at the Astrodome concert in 1995.It's a great song.
4. Fotos Y Recuerdos
Ah.This would have to be my favorite track on the album.The song was taken from the Pretenders hit "Back In The Chain Gang" but of course Selena did a much better job.This a true latin classic.
5. El Chico Del Apartamento 512
Hit after hit..This a great song.A song that you never get tired of hearing.
6. Bidi Bidi Bom Bom
Who doesn't know this song?This a true Selena signature song.It was a #1 smash for Selena and I still hear it on radio stations today.
7. Techno Cumbia
Selena took a new way to her music.Selena is sort of raping in this song.The song came out great and I think would of continued her music in this type.
8. Tus Desprecios
This is a great song.Selena still shows she has her Mexican influences in her.
9. Si Una Vez
Ah.This is another favorite of mine.This is an amazing song and was another #1 smash for Selena.It's also a diffirent sound.
10. Ya No
Good way to end the album.This was a major radio hit.This is an amazing song and her first basically to have heavy metal guitar break downs.

Make sure you pick a copy up of this album.You Won't Regret It!

One of the best albums ever...........2005-08-03

This is one of those rare albums where I've been able to enjoy every single song....eleven years after its original release. This is a bonafide classic. Selena is the best!

Because she's worth it........2006-10-18

Ok, this album was my first contact with Selena's (amazing) talent.

It mainly consists of cumbia/tejano popular sounds, most of them very entertaining and completed by Selena's most charismatic voice. All of the tracks are beautiful and stay in memory, but my personal all-time favourite Selena song is the final track 'Ya no', with powerful rock inputs and Selena's husband, Chris Perez,giving us an exquisite quitar solo.

Plus, Selena gets so passionate when singing, that you can actually feel her sinking into the song.

Most of the tracks are written by her brother, A.B. Quintanilla. For those who don't know Selena, she started singing as a little girl with her brother playing the bass and her sister drums. And until her final CD, music remained a family tradition.

It is a shame that Selena is no longer with us. She was talented, she actually knew what music is and how it feels, she did not wear dead animals to feel important, she was the people's singer without being shallow and kitsch. She did the best quality of entertaining music - simple, beautiful, decent. She rose to be the first female tejano musician sending dynamism and power to female artists without stripping in every chance. Selena was not the 'Mexican Madonna'. She was far more talented and real.

this cd helps me every time i am down and blue but when i listen to this cd i always cheer up even if in the back of my head i still fell bad i cant rember.

Selena Our Treasure Forever.......2004-07-27

Everything Selena did was gold. It's just a shame she had to be tacen away just when she was supposed to be introduced to the rest of the world! New fans did not get to see what a bomb she was on stage, and what a sweet ni~na mujer she was. A life-long and forever Sel fan.

Perfect album.......2003-08-22

This is Selena's perfect album, every song is a gem! There is variety and every song is stuck in your head. I cant choose a favourite but I do love 'ya no' particuarly. This is the essential Selena album. Make sure not to pass up 'Entre a mi mundo' also!

My favorite singer.......2003-07-17

I really like the songs that Selena sings. The thing I like about it is that she sings English and Spanish. I also like her voice and the way that her brothers and sister play the instruments. I think that it really nice that mostly the whole family is in it. I like Selena's songs more than anyother C.D. I wish she didn't die but she did. Even though she's dead, I still listen to hre songs.
