Carlos Vives is also good and worth checking out.
Selena will always be my favorite.

Everyone loved Selena. She raised the bar for Latinos trying to cross over into the American music industry.
I’ll bet anything that if it weren’t for Selena,
Jennifer Lopez would still be a nobody and only known for her days on In Living Color.
And while there is a lot of music in the American music industry, I think I would’ve liked Selena more if she stuck to Spanish. If she poured her heart and soul into a Spanish album the way she did for an English one, I’d probably love her more.
Shame the way she died though.
I like
Shakira's stuff. Once again, I prefer her Spanish to her English.
Don't think I've ever heard of
Carlos Vives. So I guess I will check him out
