1995

1995 was a transformative and tragic year for Mexican and Latin music. The murder of Selena Quintanilla in March shocked the Spanish-speaking world, turning her posthumous releases into massive hits. Mexican pop flourished with Pedro Fernández, Paulina Rubio, Thalía, and Fey, while rock en español and groups like Caló represented a diverse pop-rock scene. Latin pop acts from across the Americas also dominated Mexican airwaves.
