Do you know the history of Los Dinos? (Americans of Mexican decent around about 1950-1960).. **((nothing to do with today’s situation))**

I actually knew Selena since she was about 14yo (she was murdered when she was about 23yo..). She couldn’t even speak Spanish.. well, she did learn a little. I spoke more than she did, and I didN7t know much :p I speak more Japanese now than Spanish, and probably better than my current English >.<
