Selena Quintanilla's music takes center stage at Central Park's SummerStage

This weekend everyone was definitely bailando esta cumbia in honor of the very loved Queen of Tejano music, Selena Quintanilla (#AnythingForSelenas). The Bidi Bidi Bom Bom singer has long been known for being more than a superstar singer: she was also known for her kindness and her importance to the Latinx culture in the early 90s.

When Doris Muñoz, head of Solidarity for Sanctuary, was looking to create the tenth installment of her sold out concert series, looking to the Tejano Queen was a no brainer.

Doris’ latest concert became an ode to the Dreaming of You singer and was aptly named Selena For Sanctuary.

Selena was the first time many Latinxers saw themselves in someone that was so entrenched in the U.S. pop culture at the time. The El Chico del Apartamento 512 songstress also helped usher in the ‘crossover’ Latinx movement that blew up in the 90s — along with Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony and Santana.

The concert was headlined by Kali Uchis, a Colombian-American singer and songwriter known for her doo-wop, reggae and early 2000s R&B influences.

Doris created this concert series initially to help raise funds for her parents’ legal fees, but when she saw how successful the event became, she decided to make it into something much bigger. Through the organization she has sought to help other Latinx immigrants and has raised over $14,000.
