In March 1995 , American Tejano music singer Selena was shot and killed by Yolanda Saldívar , her friend and former manager of the singer 's boutiques . The impact of the singer 's death had a negative impact on Latin music , her genre — which she catapulted it into the mainstream market — suffered and its popularity waned following Selena 's death . She continued to be the last remaining Tejano recording artist to appear on the United States '' Billboard '' 200 chart since 2000 . In the fall of 2011 , Chilean record producer Humberto Gatica and Capitol Latin senior vice president Sergio Lopes had the idea of turning Selena 's songs into duets in popular music genres . Mexican singers Cristian Castro , Samo , American singers Don Omar , Carlos Santana , Selena Gomez ( who was named after Selena ) , and Spanish singer Juan Magan lent their voices for the duet/remix style album . The project — named '' Enamorada de Ti '' — was released in April 2012 and debuted and peaked at number one on the U.S. Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums chart . '' Lo Mejor de ... Selena '' followed the commercial success of '' Enamorada de Ti '' , released on the twentieth anniversary of Selena 's death . It was also made available for digital download and released as a double disc
