Selena Y Los Dinos is the debut LP record by Mexican American Tejano pop band Selena y Los Dinos, released on July 16, 1984 by Freddie Records. "Ya Se Va" ("There He Goes") became the leading single off of the album and performed well on Tejano radios, however, the album's commercial performance was atypical from Freddie Martinez (ceo of Freddie Records). Martinez didn't postulate that Selena could draw large crowds or even sell a record because Selena was a female-lead-singer in a male-dominate genre. Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr, refused to accept this explanation, which implied that Selena was somehow responsible for the dismal reception, of the album, and chose to move the band elsewhere. During the recording sessions, for the album, Selena only needed a few cuts, unlike many artists older than her. Despite her professionalism, Freddie Records felt that Selena needed more time to develop as a singer. Read more
