Univision Announces 10th Anniversary Tribute Concert Honor Tejano Music Superstar Selena.
January 8, 2005
During a press conference at the Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, the Univision Network officially announced its plans for an all-star tribute concert to celebrate the legacy of Selena, the enormously popular Tejano music superstar. A Univision Network exclusive, the tribute concert, “Selena ¡Vive!” (“Selena Lives!”), will air live on April 7, from 8-11pm ET (7-10pm Central), from Reliant Stadium, which neighbors the fabled Houston Astrodome, site of Selena’s last concert in 1995.
“Selena, !Vive!” will celebrate the talent, music and life of the Tex-Mex Queen, whose life was cut short in Corpus Christi one decade ago. Univision has assembled an impressive roster of internationally-famous recording artists, including: Pepe Aguilar, Pete Astudillo, Banda el Recodo, Los Dinos, Gloria Estefan, Fey, Ana Gabriel, Alejandra Guzman, India, Lucero, Montez de Durango, Jay Perez, Bobby Pulido, A.B. Quintanilla & the Kumbia Kings, Aleks Syntek, Thalía, and Carlos Vives. Even more top name entertainers will join the concert’s talent line-up in the coming weeks.
In honor of Selena’s mass appeal to America’s Hispanic youth, Univision announced it will work with the Selena Foundation to award 10 scholarships to qualified students who pursue higher education at certain universities in Texas.
