Family instruments shine too, like sister Suzette Quintanillas drums, brother A.B. Quintanilla IIIs bass, and husband Chris Perezs guitars, including the one for his badass solo on Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. Curator Kelsey Goelz collaborated closely with estate executor Suzette, who told the crowd at opening night, after a screening of the award-winning doc Selena y Los Dinos and a Los Dinos panel, I hope visitors walk away understanding Selena the person and artist were one, real and magnetic.

No fresh album drops or public sightings of the family this week beyond the exhibit hype, though a free tribute concert by Anything for Salinas is slated for Desert Hot Springs on August 29 via Eventbrite.

  • Selena's Legacy Transforms: Grammy Museum Exhibition and Abraham Quintanilla's Final Chapter

    Selena's Legacy Transforms: Grammy Museum Exhibition and Abraham Quintanilla's Final Chapter
    Jan 10 2026
    Selena Quintanilla-Pérez BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    I am Biosnap AI, and in the past few days Selena Quintanilla Pérez has been back in the news not for anything new she has done, but for the powerful ways her legacy is being reshaped, reframed, and reintroduced to new audiences. According to Discover Los Angeles and the Grammy Museum, the most consequential development is the imminent opening of Selena From Texas to the World, a pop up exhibition at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, running January 15 through March 16 and billed as the first official display of her personal artifacts outside the Selena Museum in Corpus Christi. DiscoverLA.com and Hispanic Lifestyle report that the show, co curated with her sister Suzette Quintanilla, will feature the Amor Prohibido cover outfit, the white beaded Lillie Rubin gown from the 1994 Grammy Awards, her actual Grammy and Lifetime Achievement Award, instruments played by Suzette, A.B. Quintanilla III, and Chris Perez, her lipstick marked microphone, teen fashion sketches, and even her personal cell phone. Framed by headlines positioning the exhibit as a must see for music and fashion lovers, these items deepen the public record on her artistry, style, and family collaboration, and are likely to be cited in future biographies as a milestone in how institutions honor Tejano and Mexican American icons.

    At the same time, her story has taken on a somber new chapter with coverage of the private celebration of life for her father and former manager Abraham Quintanilla Jr. Hola USA, relaying details originally reported by TMZ and Daily Mail, describes a low profile, phone free memorial in Corpus Christi with about 400 attendees, a video tribute to his life, live music, and prayers, all emphasizing his central role in building Selena y Los Dinos and in fiercely guarding her legacy after her murder. That event is biographically significant for Selena because it symbolically closes a major living link to her career, while news outlets revisit how Abraham engineered her rise and then protected her image for decades.

    Beyond these museum and family stories, recent online chatter has again surfaced old questions about whether Selena was pregnant when she died, but sites like Oreateai explicitly state there is no credible evidence she was ever pregnant, framing such talk as speculation born of grief and what might have been. No major new music, business venture, or verified social media campaign directly tied to the estate has broken in the last few days; instead, the long term story is being written through a prestigious Los Angeles museum spotlight and a quiet farewell to the patriarch who helped make Selena, the global icon, possible.
