Music news -

Becoming more and more popular - Tex-Mex or

Tejano and leading the genre is Corpus Christi-based

known and for Selena, music is a family affair. Her dad,

Abraham Quintanilla manages the group, Los Dinos,

which includes sister Suzette and drums and brother

Abe on drums. Husband Chris Perez is the group’s

guitarist. “It’s the younger generation. They’re proud of

their roots. Latinos are more visible. It’s cool to speak

Spanish. In Mexico, they love the Tejano sound. Fans

even welcome you at the airport,” says Selena. She

says she’s been at it for 13 years, when she used to

sing for family gatherings. With local hits and awards,

finally the band was signed by the EMI Latin label in 1989. Selena also has her

own clothing boutique - several in Texas called Selena Etcetera Boutiques. Also,

look for her in her first movie appearance, “Don Carlo and the Centerfold” with

Johnny Depp.

Radio news - Steve Perun is now

program director of KIIS-FM, Los

Angeles. At crosstown KPWR, new

morning stars “The Baka Boys” are

Since beginning in February, they’ve

leaped to the #5 morning show in Los

Angeles - at a 4.5 overall share. Previous morning man Jay Thomas left with a

3.8 share, so clearly, these guys are doing much better. A similar billboard-toilet

campaign helped boast the ratings of Dr. Dre and Ed Lover ant New York’s Hot

97 (WQHT).
