In the 30 years since her death, Latinos (and beyond) have elevated the late singer to sainthood. Hers is a tragic story of a life cut too soon to realize her fullest potential. And no song in her catalog encapsulates that more than “Dreaming of You.”

A once-in-a-decade gathering of remembrance and celebration for the late singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez starts Friday at the CHAC Gallery in Lakewood, honoring the life and legacy of the “Queen of Tejano Music.”

Monday marks 30 years since singer and songwriter Selena Quintanilla was shot and killed in Corpus Christi, Texas. Her killer was denied parole last week.Fans, including a couple in Colorado, continue to remember the "Queen of Tejano" through her music and special events hosted by the Chicano Humanities & Art Council.
