Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Good article Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox album Amor Prohibido (Шаблон:Lang-en)Шаблон:Sfn is the fourth studio album by American singer Selena,Шаблон:Refn released on March 13, 1994, by EMI Latin.[1] Having reached a core fan base, the label aimed to broaden her appeal with the next studio release. Finding it challenging to write a follow-up hit after "Como la Flor" (1992), Selena's brother A. B. Quintanilla enlisted the assistance from band members Ricky Vela and Pete Astudillo with writing the album's songs. The resulting album has a more mature sound featuring experimental production that blends diverse musical styles from ranchera to hip-hop music. Amor Prohibido is a Tejano cumbia album modernized with a synthesizer-rich delivery using a minimalist style that was quintessential in early 1990s Tejano music.

The album's songs deal with dysfunctional and volatile relationships; its lyrics explore unrequited love, infidelity, and social division. With relatively few love songs, Amor Prohibido narrates a woman's struggles and triumphs following unsuccessful relationships with men who struggle with commitment. The album continued the singer's streak of number-one singles on the United States Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart with the title track "Amor Prohibido"— which became the most successful US Latin single of 1994, a feat she repeated the following year with "No Me Queda Más". Along with the latter, "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" and "Fotos y Recuerdos" also topped the US Latin chart, and together with "Si Una Vez" are regarded as Selena's signature recordings.

When the album tour broke attendance records at the Houston Astrodome and attracted a record-breaking crowd at Miami's Calle Ocho Festival, Selena became recognized as one of the biggest US Latin touring acts at that time. Amor Prohibido became the first Tejano record to peak at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, remaining in the top five for 98 consecutive weeks. The album holds the record for most weeks at number one on BillboardШаблон:'s Regional Mexican Albums chart at 97 nonconsecutive weeks, as well as crowning the chart in four different calendar years. Amor Prohibido received critical acclaim, it is considered to be Selena's best work and her band's "crowning achievement". The album's sound received the highest acclaim, it was noted by critics to have retained its innovative spirit well into the 21st century. Amor Prohibido is credited with catapulting Tejano music into mainstream success resulting in sales to listeners previously unfamiliar with the genre. Amor Prohibido was nominated for Best Mexican-American Album at the 37th Grammy Awards. The record took Album of the Year honors at the 1995 TMA's and the Lo Nuestro Award for Best Regional Mexican Album.

On March 31, 1995, Selena was murdered by her friend and former manager of her Selena Etc. boutiques, Yolanda Saldívar. The record re-entered the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number 29 and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Within three weeks, it was certified platinum and was re-certified by the RIAA as 36× platinum (Latin), denoting 2.14 million album-equivalent units sold. Amor Prohibido is the second-highest certified Latin album in the United States trailing only her posthumous album Dreaming of You (1995), the fourth best-selling Latin album in the US, the best-selling Tejano recording of the 1990s, and remains the best-selling Tejano recording of all time. Amor Prohibido has been ranked among the most essential Latin recordings of the past 50 years by Billboard magazine, while Rolling Stone magazine named it one of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. NPR ranked the album number 19 on their list of the 150 greatest albums made by women; it was the highest-ranking album by a female Latin artist and ninth highest-ranking recording by a woman of color.

Production and development

Background

Following the release of Selena's third studio album Entre a Mi Mundo and the launch of a clothing boutique in 1993,Шаблон:Sfn the singer and her band began working on Amor Prohibido.Шаблон:Sfn Having achieved the success and fan base that EMI Latin's president Jose Behar was seeking, Behar aimed to capitalize on Selena's broad appeal with the next studio release.Шаблон:Sfn The label was keen to use a Grammy Award-winning producer instead of the singer's brother, A.B. Quintanilla.Шаблон:Sfn A.B. knew Selena's musical tastes and vocal range,Шаблон:Sfn though he found that he needed to outdo himself to remain her principal record producer.Шаблон:Sfn He found it challenging to meet expectations after the commercial success of Entre a Mi Mundo and its career-launching single "Como la Flor".Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn When A.B. met with record executives in New York City and Nashville, they pressured him to come up with another successful song.Шаблон:Sfn He felt it was important that the music he produced for Selena remain fresh.Шаблон:Sfn He stressed that writing a successful song following "Como la Flor" was infeasible—as he expressed to Billboard, "you don't try to outdo a hit, you just write another hit".Шаблон:Sfn As with previous albums, A.B. enlisted Selena y Los Dinos band members, Pete Astudillo and Ricky Vela, to help with the writing process.Шаблон:Sfn The result included a mature sound for Selena with experimental recording and production than her previous works.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It was the final album featuring production and songwriting by Astudillo, who subsequently parted with Los Dinos to pursue a solo career.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Recording

Шаблон:Quote box Amor Prohibido was recorded at Manny Guerra's studio in San Antonio, Texas, and was engineered by Brian "Red" Moore.Шаблон:Sfn The production of Amor Prohibido lasted six months beginning on September 17, 1993.Шаблон:Refn The recording schedule was squeezed in around touring commitments and the opening of Selena's boutiques, as Selena's husband and guitarist Chris Pérez recalled: "I don't even know how we managed to find time to make the next album."Шаблон:Sfn According to Vela, progress stalled and the band had to rush to finish production because of an approaching deadline.Шаблон:Sfn The first day of recording, which lasted until four in the morning, began with the sequencing of the keyboards.Шаблон:Sfn The following days concluded with the band recording their respective parts before Selena recorded her vocals.Шаблон:Sfn It then took two weeks to complete post-production.Шаблон:Sfn Vela said that it was common for the band to rehearse all of the music in advance of the recording sessions, as the band's production sequence remained unchanged for Amor Prohibido.Шаблон:Sfn Selena and the band recorded their parts in the studio after they had first perfected them during pre-production.Шаблон:Sfn A.B. would then arrange and mix them,Шаблон:Sfn using an AKAI MPC60 II for timing and tempo control before studio mixing instruments were used.Шаблон:Sfn It took two weeks for Selena to record the album's ten tracks.Шаблон:Sfn

Pérez provided an evocative account of working with Selena during the sessions for Amor Prohibido.Шаблон:Sfn Pérez wrote how Selena never complained in the studio, adding that the singer was never recalcitrant towards changes. Selena would often arrive at the studio during the album's production, "hum her part a little", and then proceeded to the mall informing the band not to worry because she would "know what to do when [the band is] ready to record."Шаблон:Sfn Nevertheless, Pérez explained that the band never had to approach Selena on changes in the studio as she disciplined herself and tracked her vocals while requesting a second take in order to "add little harmonies she'd create" during recording.Шаблон:Sfn A.B. described his own creative process during the sessions in a 1994 interview with KMOL.Шаблон:Sfn He would use a tape recorder to hum a melody before creating a title and concept of a song.Шаблон:Sfn If he caught himself humming a tune the next day "then it's catchy", and otherwise he "wouldn't use it."Шаблон:Sfn A.B. also requested material from Rena Dearman, former keyboardist of the group, who provided several songs.Шаблон:Sfn A.B. favored "I'll Be Alright" and wanted Selena to record the song for Amor Prohibido.Шаблон:Sfn After it was rejected by EMI Latin because it was incoherent of the album's theme, A.B. suggested that it could be included in Selena's next Tejano recording.Шаблон:Sfn

One song–"Bidi Bidi Bom Bom"–was improvised during a rehearsal starting off as a song with few, if any, lyrics.Шаблон:Sfn The band's drummer, Selena's sister Suzette Quintanilla, said "we were goofing off" and insisted that after A.B. began playing a groove on his guitar,Шаблон:Sfn Selena started singing, coming up with lyrics "as ideas came to her."Шаблон:Sfn It started off with lyrics about a cheerful fish swimming freely in the ocean, which Astudillo likened to a nursery rhyme,Шаблон:Sfn organized around a wah-wah guitar riff using a crybaby that was improvised by Pérez.Шаблон:Sfn The track, then called "Itty Bitty Bubbles",Шаблон:Sfn became an extended jam during the band's concerts to prevent promoters from reducing their pay for playing for a shorter time than promised.Шаблон:Sfn Selena performed the song at the La Feria concert in Nuevo Leon in September 1993, a day before the singer and Astudillo began "[putting] the lyrics and melody together".Шаблон:Sfn A.B. saw potential in the tune and "nipped and tucked what Selena [had already done]".Шаблон:Sfn He joined as co-writer, writing the guitar solos for Pérez, as well as the arrangements for the song.Шаблон:Sfn A.B. called it "kinda a little scary" finding the project the first of its kind.Шаблон:Sfn The day before the band was scheduled to record the album, A.B. approached Pérez and asked if he would be interested in working with Vela on "Ya No", a song that A.B. had written.Шаблон:Sfn Pérez worked with Vela throughout the night improvising the drum sounds and programming the music for it, adding electric guitar riffs, and complementing it with his own musical style.Шаблон:Sfn Pérez was dumbfounded that despite A.B.'s assistance he had been given creative control over the track.Шаблон:Sfn

The idea for the album's title track was Selena's own,Шаблон:Sfn although Astudillo had at one time aspired to write a telenovela-esque song entitled "Amor Prohibido".Шаблон:Sfn Together with A.B. and Astudillo, Selena began writing and recording a track based on a story about her great-grandparents.Шаблон:Sfn The singer was inspired by love letters written by her great-grandmother who wrote about her experiences as a maid to the Calderon family, a wealthy family who lived in Nueva Rosita, Mexico who immigrated from Spain,Шаблон:Sfn and her infatuation with their son.Шаблон:Sfn Her great-grandmother was forbidden to form a relationship with him because of her social class and described it as "forbidden love".Шаблон:Sfn Astudillo feared that Selena's father would reject the song because of the lyrical content of disobeying one's parents to pursue true love, as Selena herself had done when eloping with Pérez in 1992.Шаблон:Sfn Abraham heard "Amor Prohibido" after Selena recorded the track and enjoyed it, he found the lyrics to be relatable something "many families have gone through".Шаблон:Sfn While recording the song, Selena had ad-libbed "oh whoa, baby". Her brother believed that the recording would not have been the same had she not added the "oh whoa, baby" part.Шаблон:Sfn "Amor Prohibido" sampled the cencerro, which was intended by A.B., to attract people of different ethnicities to Selena's music.Шаблон:Sfn The media attention following Selena's death led the Calderon family to Selena and the song "Amor Prohibido", they visited the family for the first time and traveled to Corpus Christi.Шаблон:Sfn After falling in love with Suzette, and finding out about her marriage in September 1993, Vela wrote down how he felt; which he had kept private from her.Шаблон:Sfn The resulting song was titled "No Me Queda Más" and it was given to Selena to record for the album.Шаблон:Sfn According to Abraham, Selena provided an emotional delivery while recording the track and was seen sobbing in the recording studio because "she knew how [Vela] felt" about Suzette.Шаблон:Sfn

During recording sessions for "Techno Cumbia", A.B. encouraged Selena to rap with a New York accent similar to Rosie Perez.Шаблон:Sfn During a New York trip, A.B. heard the Pretenders' 1983 single "Back on the Chain Gang" on the radio.Шаблон:Sfn Concerned about the lack of material the band had to record for the album, and captivated by the idea of reworking "Back on the Chain Gang" into a Spanish-language cumbia song, A.B. asked Vela to write a translation of the lyrics.Шаблон:Sfn After discovering that Selena had sampled her song, Pretenders' vocalist Chrissie Hynde prevented the band from releasing Amor Prohibido and demanded a translation from Vela before she approved a rights agreement.Шаблон:Sfn At the time of Hynde's refusal, the band had $475,000 (1994 USD) of pre-sale copies in a warehouse that included "Fotos y Recuerdos".Шаблон:Sfn Noticing it was the shortest track on Amor Prohibido, musicologist James Perone felt that "Fotos y Recuerdos" had "stripped some of the edge Шаблон:Sic off of Hynde's text but retained the basic premise of ["Back on the Chain Gang"]".Шаблон:Sfn Perone complemented A.B.'s arrangement as "an example of [his] universal Latin approach."Шаблон:Sfn

Composition

Шаблон:Listen Amor Prohibido contains a more diverse collection of musical styles than Selena's previous work, ranging from ranchera to hip-hop music.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Music critics believe it is an album of various genres accessible to both traditional and contemporary Latin music fans.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Jeff Young, then-EMI Latin's sales director, labeled Amor Prohibido as "Pop International", which Mark Schone of Newsday believed was a ploy by the company to broaden Selena's appeal.Шаблон:Sfn Musicologist Matt Doeden found the album as having "a new sound" whose aim was to appeal to a broad audience.Шаблон:Sfn Perone found the mixture of compositions on the album to be rock and dance music,Шаблон:Sfn and according to Frank Hoffman in the Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound, the album exhibited the band's broad range of styles.Шаблон:Sfn Newsweek found the music in Amor Prohibido to have combined house music, cumbia, rock, dancehall, and new wave that was modernized in a kaleidoscopic form that embodied postmodern maelstrom of the mid-'90s.Шаблон:Sfn Amor Prohibido diverged from Selena's "stock-in-trade contemporary Tex-Mex sound."Шаблон:Sfn Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News, however, believed the title track and "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" contained Selena's cheerful and enthusiastic personality that were prevalent in previous recordings.Шаблон:Sfn The album's musical influences include salsa, funk, R&B,Шаблон:Sfn bubblegum pop,Шаблон:Sfn teen pop, pop ballads,Шаблон:Sfn techno,Шаблон:Sfn a fusion of reggae and dancehall,Шаблон:Sfn rock, polka, conjunto,Шаблон:Sfn flamenco, mariachi,Шаблон:Sfn corridos,Шаблон:Sfn and Tejano cumbia.Шаблон:Sfn Tejano cumbia is used heavily throughout Amor Prohibido. Author Ed Morales noticed its representation of the "cumbia sound" already established by Tejano band La Mafia,Шаблон:Sfn though Donald Clarke found Selena's delivery to be more of a modernized synthesizer-rich sound.Шаблон:Sfn While Amor Prohibido is a cross-cultural musical fusion,Шаблон:Sfn it remains an authentic Tejano recording,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn which uses a minimalist style that was quintessential in early 1990s Tejano music.Шаблон:Sfn

Selena called the recordings on Amor Prohibido as "love songs [or songs about] getting your heartbroken".Шаблон:Sfn Lyrically, the title track "Amor Prohibido" encapsulates the social divide between a poverty-stricken woman and the man of unreachable rank with whom she has fallen in love.Шаблон:Sfn The lyrics have been analyzed by authors, musicologists, and critics, who found them relevant to issues facing the LGBT community.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn They are ambiguous, and have been interpreted to portray prohibited romance between same-sex couples,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn modern society's views of romantic relationships,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and to Romeo & Juliet.Шаблон:Sfn A review in The Monitor felt that the lyrics portrayed the forbidden love that Selena and Pérez hid from her overbearing father.Шаблон:Sfn Musically, the titular song is "an emotional uptempo ballad" which showcases the singer's "passionate side".Шаблон:Sfn In "Cobarde", the protagonist calls her partner a "coward" upon learning on his inability to face her after feeling reticent about his affair.Шаблон:Sfn Two other tracks, "Ya No" and "Si Una Vez", delve into heartaches of failed relationships with the protagonist in the former song angrily refusing to take back a cheating partner.Шаблон:Sfn Selena's vocals were called "strong [and] raspy" in "Si Una Vez".Шаблон:Sfn Suzette particularly liked because Selena gave "that attitude" in the song.Шаблон:Sfn

"Tus Desprecios" has a storyline typical of mariachi recordings, concerning dysfunctional and volatile relationships.Шаблон:Sfn The track uses the traditional Tejano conjunto (small band) style and includes a trilling accordion motif.Шаблон:Sfn On the day Selena recorded the song, she was suffering from a bronchitis episode.Шаблон:Sfn Perone wrote that the song showed Selena's ease with pop, Latin, and Tejano styles.Шаблон:Sfn Writing for The Miami Herald, Mario Tarradell described "Tus Desprecios" and "Si Una Vez" as having a more traditional Tejano sound than the rest of the tracks on Amor Prohibido but found them riddled with synthesizers and digital processing.Шаблон:Sfn Another track, "No Me Queda Más", uses the identical style of ranchera songs, with the female singer agonizing over the end of a relationship.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The lyrics explore an unrequited love in which a woman wishes the best for her former lover despite her own agony.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Jose Feliciano express his take on the song, noting a sense of sorrowfulness in the lyrics, while finding cognitive parallels to Selena's life, and noticed a comparison of compositions that are typically recorded by Pedro Infante.Шаблон:Sfn Selena's voice was admired for being powerful and emotive, while her vocals were found to have been subdued and solemn and were sung in a desperate and emotional way.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Hispanic magazine praised Selena's vocal interpretations in "No Me Queda Más", citing the singer's ability to tackle such a song reserved for established musicians twice her age.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Listen Joe Nick Patoski of The New York Times, recognized the melody of "Fotos y Recuerdos" from the Pretenders' new wave sound,Шаблон:Sfn that played on a rock en español groove surrounded with organs and percussions which "transcend[ed] traditional Tejano sounds."Шаблон:Sfn He also noticed that Pérez's lead guitar emulated the style of the Pretenders' James Honeyman-Scott.Шаблон:Sfn Newsweek praised Pérez' guitar solos and the lyrics on "Fotos y Recuerdos" which explored forbidden romance,Шаблон:Sfn with the singer "cherishing memories of a relationship".Шаблон:Sfn John LaFollette of The Monitor called Selena's simultaneous appeals to multiculturalism and commerce in the song "as American as apple pie."Шаблон:Sfn The track supplements rock and house rhythms with synth-driven strings and layers of percussion,Шаблон:Sfn including steel drums under a cumbia beat.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Perone located suggestions of Jamaica, Cuba, and Trinidad and Tobago.Шаблон:Sfn "Techno Cumbia" featured Selena rapping under a cumbia beat supplemented with congas, hi-hats, techno samples,Шаблон:Sfn and EBM.Шаблон:Sfn Patoski acclaimed the band's new take on the cumbia rhythm, updated vocal samples, drums inspired from New Orleans, and horn charts taken from soca from the Caribbean.Шаблон:Sfn "Techno Cumbia" was praised as the first successful case of a cumbia-rap prototype in the industry.Шаблон:Sfn "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", which also draws on music from the Caribbean, features lusher arrangements and less driven, trebly synthesizers than the first four songs on Amor Prohibido.Шаблон:Sfn Infused with cumbia and reggae,Шаблон:Sfn its onomatopoeic title and its nonsensical lyrics suggests the sound of Selena's heart palpitating whenever she thought of her husband.Шаблон:Refn Critics praised the song's catchiness and noted a sense of conviviality in the track.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is musically similar to "El Chico del Apartamento 512"; Perone noted a recurring theme of attraction to a young man.Шаблон:Sfn The latter song's hook is more accessible to listeners with limited Spanish than that of "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom".Шаблон:Sfn In "El Chico del Apartamento 512", called a "sunny pop anthem",Шаблон:Sfn the protagonist is hit on by several men whom she has no interest in, except for the song's "boy in apartment 512". She finds enough courage to knock on his door to find it answered by a woman who asks if she is searching for her brother.Шаблон:Sfn To Perone, the song's lightness represents a relief from the heartbreak and despair elsewhere on the album.Шаблон:Sfn

Release and promotion

Amor Prohibido was released in the United States on March 22, 1994.Шаблон:Refn The release followed a recording contract with EMI Latin's pop division SBK Records, who aimed Selena to crossover into mainstream American pop music, in November 1993.Шаблон:Sfn After this news reached Billboard magazine, Amor Prohibido was given a spotlight feature in its album reviews which called its release a continuation of her "torrid streak."Шаблон:Sfn While Mark Holston of Hispanic magazine, wrote that the album's release reinforced her reputation as one of the leading Hispanic singers of the 1990s.Шаблон:Sfn With EMI Latin's president Jose Behar requesting enhancements to their commercial appeal,Шаблон:Sfn the band gave Argentine arranger Bebu Silvetti the song "No Me Queda Más" to be reworked into a pop-style track for its single release in October 1994.Шаблон:Sfn Amor Prohibido was subsequently re-released with a red sticker indicating that it included a "new version" of the song.Шаблон:Sfn In a Billboard interview, Behar said that "No Me Queda Más" was "internalized" without affecting the originality of its recording.Шаблон:Sfn During the twenty-year celebration of Selena releasing music, Amor Prohibido was repackaged and was made available for physical and digital purchase on September 22, 2002.Шаблон:Sfn The limited edition version included Selena's duet with the Barrio Boyzz on their 1994 single "Donde Quiera Que Estés", music videos for "Amor Prohibido" and "No Me Queda Más", as well as spoken liner notes containing commentary and recollections of each track provided by the singer's family, friends, and her band.Шаблон:Sfn

After featuring on "Donde Quiera Que Estés", Selena went on a mini-tour with the Barrio Boyzz that enabled her to visit New York City, Argentina, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Central America, where she was not well known.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In September 1994, Selena sold out the 10,000 seats D.C. Armory in Washington, DC, with mostly Central Americans in attendance.Шаблон:Sfn Daniel Bueno, who organized the event, told The Washington Post that Central Americans loathe Tejano music and thought that the addition of reggae and tropical music into her repertoire had helped her appeal to Central Americans.Шаблон:Sfn Nelly Carrion, a journalist for the Washington Hispanic, expressed how the audience resonated emotionally towards Selena's performance and stressed how people were desperate to touch Selena, forcing her act to be suspended.Шаблон:Sfn Selena made several appearances on television and in live shows to promote Amor Prohibido. Most notably, her performance at the Houston Astrodome on February 26, 1995, has been called one of her best.Шаблон:Sfn The event was critically praised for breaking attendance records set by country music musicians Vince Gill, Reba McEntire, and George Strait.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Her performance in the Astrodome was emulated by Jennifer Lopez in her role as the singer in the 1997 biopic.Шаблон:Sfn The singer appeared at the Calle Ocho Festival in Miami, with an estimated 100,000 in attendance breaking previous audience records.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Her performance on a November 1994 episode of Sabado Gigante was ranked among the most memorable moments in the show's 53-year history.Шаблон:Sfn Selena performed "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", "No Me Queda Más", "El Chico del Apartamento 512", and "Si Una Vez" on the Johnny Canales Show, which was later released as part of the host's "favorite songs" on DVD.Шаблон:Sfn Selena's performance of "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" on July 31, 1994, at Six Flags AstroWorld was the subject of a video released by the Houston Chronicle for their segment "On This Forgotten Day".Шаблон:Sfn Ramiro Burr, of Billboard, called the singer's tour for her album a "tour de force".Шаблон:Sfn The concerts established Selena as one of Latin music's most successful contemporary acts.Шаблон:Sfn

Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News wrote that the singles from Amor Prohibido elevated Selena to success on Latin radio whose promoters had not previously taken the singer seriously.Шаблон:Sfn "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" was ranked number 54 on the Dallas ObserverШаблон:'s list of the Best Texas Songs of All-time.Шаблон:Sfn The song was listed as an honorable mention on BillboardШаблон:'s top ten list of best Tejano songs of all-time, while "No Me Queda Más" ranked ninth.Шаблон:Sfn Lisa Leal of KVTV said that "No Me Queda Más" and "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", continue to be popular with fans and are Spanish-language counterparts of the Beatles' 1965 single, "Yesterday", in fan popularity.Шаблон:Sfn Author Kristine Burns also considered that the two aforementioned singles aided the growth of Selena's fan base.Шаблон:Sfn "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" was the most-played song from Amor Prohibido on Mexican radio,Шаблон:Sfn and remains a Latin pop and American pop standard.Шаблон:Sfn "Fotos y Recuerdos" has been recognized as the singer's "best-known dance tracks",Шаблон:Sfn while "Amor Prohibido" was popular on radios across Spanish-speaking countries.Шаблон:Sfn "Techno Cumbia", considered a stable in the 1990s for family gatherings in South Texas,Шаблон:Sfn is believed by musicologists to have spearheaded a new style of music.Шаблон:Refn Following the 16th anniversary of the album's release, a readers poll in The Monitor saw participants choosing "No Me Queda Más" and "Fotos y Recuerdos" as their top picks, saying they "loved the feeling and musicianship in those two songs."Шаблон:Sfn Three tracks on Amor Prohibido ranked among BillboardШаблон:'s Greatest Hot Latin Songs of All-Time list in 2016, including "No Me Queda Más" at number 13, "Fotos y Recuerdos" at number 29, and "Amor Prohibido" at number 46.Шаблон:Sfn The majority of the recordings found on Amor Prohibido have been named Selena's signature songs including the title track,Шаблон:Sfn "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom",Шаблон:Sfn "Fotos y Recuerdos",Шаблон:Sfn and "Si Una Vez".Шаблон:Sfn

Critical reception

Reviews

Шаблон:Album ratings The vast majority of contemporary reviews were positive. Critics at The New York Times overwhelmingly praised the album: Peter Watrous felt it stayed honest to her "country, working-class constituency"Шаблон:Sfn and Greg Kot praised its "contemporary snap",Шаблон:Sfn while Joe Nick Patoski hailed Amor Prohibido as a "watershed" recording from a supergroup at the top of its game.Шаблон:Sfn Others, such as AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine, musicologist James Perone, and music editor Mario Tarradell panned the album initially before coming to view Amor Prohibido positively. Tarradell called Selena "Miss Mexican Lite" and criticized the lack of songs true to regional Mexican music,Шаблон:Sfn before calling the album "delightfully infectious".Шаблон:Sfn Perone felt the album sounded dated, despite providing ample evidence of the singer's appeal,Шаблон:Sfn whereas Erlewine characterized Amor Prohibido as "slightly uneven" and praised Selena's success at recording the weaker material. Erlewine would later describe Amor Prohibido as Selena's strongest album, and an effective introduction to her work that highlighted her successful interpretation of the Tejano sound.Шаблон:Sfn Walter Martinez from Latin Style opined that Amor Prohibido contained tracks that deviated from regional Mexican or Tejano music.Шаблон:Sfn In response to Martinez's observation, Selena explained that she and the band experimented with Amor Prohibido, but songs like "Cobarde" still encompassed elements of Tejano and norteño music. Selena attributed her success to the diverse genres that she and the band explored in their albums while maintaining a "Mexicano" essence. With Amor Prohibido, Selena noted that the album possessed a pop ambiance, influenced by her exposure to both English and Spanish music during her formative years.
