Their story
Abraham Isaac Quintanilla Jr. was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. He was the father and manager of Tejano singer Selena. After Selena's murder on March 31, 1995, Abraham devoted himself to safeguarding and promoting Selena's image through a variety of initiatives. The Quintanilla family has been subjected to public criticism by some fans and journalists who have raised reservations about the commodification of Selena's image, particularly regarding her posthumous releases. Abraham initially found such criticisms hurtful, though stated that he became numb following years of negative comments, saying that it no longer bothered him.
