Music Rec: Dreaming of You by Selena, the last CD by the Tejano artist who was murdered in Corpus Christi five or six years ago. The CD is half Tejano, half English - with the Tejano half constituting Selena's Greatest Hits collection. There is just something so infectious about Selena's music, especially on the Tejano half with songs like "Amor Prohibido," and "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom." There there is the sweetly sad ballad "Como la Flor" and the deeply rich "Tu Sole Tu," as well as the typically Tejano "El Toro Relajo." The English material is decent, with "I Could Fall in Love" and "Dreaming of You" as the strongest of the five songs; "Missing My Baby" is a little trite and cliche, but it's got a good beat to it. In general, a great intro to Tejano music - which in itself is very addictive once you get into it. Yeah, I think I'm getting assimilated .
