Selena - Amor Prohibido

If you enjoyed the “true crime podcast” vibes from the Phil Spector episode, then hold onto your crime scene investigatory sunglasses… it’s another installment of Enjoy A Murder. Tejano popstar Selena Quintinilla-Perez released this LP of chicano cumbia on the cusp of megastardom, but was fatally shot by the leader of her fan club in a dingy motel room months before the follow-up record was released. Posthumously, she became a Texas legend that inspired Beyonce, Shakira, Lady Gaga and many other megastars. But is actually enjoying the dated production of Amor Prohibido the true forbidden love? Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail get into it about Ten Minute Murders, Randy Beamer, the Netflix series based on her life and death, as well as Ozzy Osbourne, Yolanda Saldivar and David Byrne. All this and more, on episode 22 of Enjoy An Album.
