Thirty years ago, Selena made history at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo with her iconic concert. But this year, the Rodeo didn’t include any tribute for the Tejano superstar— and booked few women and artists of color to perform. Host Raheel Ramzanali talks to Joey Guerra, Houston Chronicle’s music critic and writer, about attending that legendary performance in person, how the rodeo can improve its lineup, and why Selena’s legacy lives on. (Plus, don’t miss Joey’s Selena picks for our Rodeo Week playlist!)
