Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1980s and 1990s Texas, "Selena: Queen of Tejano" follows the journey of Selena Quintanilla, a young girl with big dreams and undeniable talent. Raised in a tight-knit Mexican-American family, Selena's passion for music blossoms under the guidance of her father, Abraham Quintanilla, who forms the family band, Selena y Los Dinos, with Selena and her siblings. As Selena's star begins to rise, she faces numerous challenges, from discrimination in the male-dominated music industry to the pressures of fame and the relentless demands of touring.
