Plot
At the Astrodome in Houston, Texas on February 26, 1995, Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla Pérez plays to a sold-out crowd ("Disco Medley"). In 1961, young Abraham Quintanilla Jr. and his band "The Dinos" are rejected by a restaurant owner after an audition in Texas. They perform for a Mexican-American nightclub, but a riot ensues when they don't perform the audience's preferred Tejano music ("Oldies Medley"), but rather American pop.
