About The Cover

Local artist Theo Ponchaveli painted a mural of Selena Quintanilla on the wall of his studio behind the Belmont a few years ago.

Ponchaveli and Arturo Donjuan collaborated on a second Selena mural at Country Burger restaurant in 2017. He painted a third one at Last Call Lounge on Centre Street.

Selena was from Corpus Christi, and she never lived in Dallas, but she did perform at the State Fair of Texas many times. Selena is especially beloved in Oak Cliff, and we know she was here a few times.

She once recorded a very lowbudget music video at Martin Weiss Park (Search oakcliff. advocatemag.com for “Selena video”). And Country Burger is a veritable shrine to the Tejano singer, who was killed two weeks before her 24th birthday in 1995.

The creative clique known as Faded DeeJays helps us celebrate Selena every March.

Here are Faded DeeJays’ Selena events this year:

Friday, March 30

The Texas Theatre screens “Selena” at 7 p.m.

Top Ten Records hosts a Selena art show and reception from 8 p.m.-midnight.

Saturday, March 31

Country Burger celebrates “Selena Day” with low-riders and a Selena lookalike contest from 2-6 p.m.

Club Dada hosts the Selena after party from 10 p.m.-2 a.m.
