Ven Conmigo (album)
Untitled | |
---|---|
Ven Conmigo is the second album release by Tejano singer Selena and y Los Dinos under EMI Latin. The album includes a musical variety of rancheras, cumbias, ballads, and pop.
A.B. Quintanilla, the producer, enlisted the participation of David Lee Garza, an accordion player for the title track, "Ven Conmigo". The group recorded "La Tracalera", a cover version of a song by the original Dinos, and "Aunque No Salga el Sol" in 1984. The song "Baila Esta Cumbia" was an instant success in the U.S. and crossed over later on to Mexico.
The album cover was photographed in black and white because Selena dyed her hair jet black the night before and got some on her face.
Ven Conmigo was the group's first Gold album. A remastered version was released in 2002.
The success of this album was what prompted Selena to learn Spanish. Thanks to this album's success, Selena was becoming very popular in Mexico, but still unable to do interviews in Spanish without a translator. Because of this, Selena decided to dedicate herself to learning the language, and by the time she recorded her next album, she was fluent enough in Spanish to no longer require a translator.
