The tunes that started gaining fan support for Selena were the cumbias and arrangements with a pop identity. However, because the group was from Texas, it was to be forever tagged with the Tejano label, a tag that until recently carried something of a negative bias in that market. According to Corpos, Tejano music gained some followers in Mexico as a result of inroads by Selena. Selena's death does not spell the end of Tejano music in Mexico, Corpos said. It has a specific following.
People now know the music.
They look and ask for groups like Tropa F, Los Dos Gilbertos and Bobby Pulido on the radio. Even though it is not played excessively, there are plenty of those that have heard the Tex-Mex, like it, and want to stay with it. You hear that kind of music at rodeos. From there, it spreads to radio by fan request. Selena's influence went wider than music sales.
