Song
B-side"Bidi Bidi Bom Bom"

"Amor Prohibido" (English: Forbidden Love) is a song recorded by American Tejano singer Selena for her fourth studio album, Amor Prohibido (1994). Released as the lead single by EMI Latin on April 13, 1994, "Amor Prohibido" was written by Selena alongside her brother-music producer A.B. Quintanilla and Selena y Los Dinos backup vocalist Pete Astudillo. Selena wanted to record a song about the true story of her grandparents—who fell in love despite being of different social classes. Since its release, the lyrical content and themes explored on "Amor Prohibido" has fostered various opinions by authors, musicologists, and journalists who found themes similar to those facing the LGBT community while others expressed it to be a Romeo & Juliet-esque recording, among other popular interpretations of the song by the media.

"Amor Prohibido" is a Mexican cumbia dance-pop song and received widespread acclaim with music critics citing the single as one of the most popular tracks recorded by Selena. The song peaked at number one on the United States Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart for nine consecutive weeks; her first as a solo act. It received the Tejano Music Award for the Single of the Year, Regional Mexican Song of the Year at the Lo Nuestro Awards and Billboard Latin Music Awards, and became the first Spanish-language recording to receive a Broadcast Pop Music Award in 1996. Selena had the most successful Latin singles of 1994 with "Amor Prohibido". Sales of the song represented Tejano music's first commercial success in Puerto Rico. Many musicians have since recorded the song and released it on their respective albums including Mexican pop singer Thalía, glam rock band Moderatto, Finnish singer Meiju Suvas, American entertainer Jennifer Lopez, Mexican pop singer Samo, and Broadway singer Shoshana Bean.

Background and production

The writing process for "Amor Prohibido" was requested by Selena, she wanted to record a song based on the true story of her grandparents—who fell in love despite being of different social classes.[1] She pitched the idea to her brother–music producer A.B. Quintanilla who began co-writing the track with her and Selena y Los Dinos backup vocalist Pete Astudillo.[1] Recording sessions took place in a San Antonio, Texas recording studio.[2] Her husband, Chris Pérez wrote, in his 2012 book about his and Selena's relationship, that during the recording session for the song "there was a noticeable difference between her voice on ["Amor Prohibido"] and Entre a Mi Mundo (1992), especially."[2] He further wrote "I can't say that it was an improvement, exactly, because I always thought that Selena's voice sounded incredible. It's just that her voice was richer and more mature than before, and her singing was more emotional and powerful as a result."[2]

During the recording session, Selena added the ad libitum "oh baby" onto "Amor Prohibido", which A.B. believed the song would "not have been the same if she had not added the 'oh baby' part."[3] In a 2002 interview, A.B. confessed to wanting "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" released as the lead single but found that Selena and EMI Latin pushed for "Amor Prohibido" instead.[4] "Amor Prohibido" was released on April 13, 1994 in the United States and Mexico.[5]

Composition

Instrumentation

"Amor Prohibido" is a Spanish-language Mexican cumbia dance-pop song with Tejano music influences.[6][7] Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News wrote that "Amor Prohibido" is a "synthesizer-heavy cumbia piece that's so catchy it's sinful".[8] Tarradell also called the song "Tejano-like",[9] and a "pop-styled opus".[10] The Daily Democrat wrote that "Amor Prohibido" had a mixture of sounds that included a modernized version of cumbia music which itself added the sounds of guitars, accordions, bass guitar, flutes, drums, and other percussion.[11] Paul Verna, singles editorial for Billboard magazine, called the song a "spunky cumbia",[12] while John Lannert, also from Billboard, called it a "peppy cumbia".[13] Written in the key of E minor, the beat is set in common time and moves at a moderate 90 beats per minute.[14] The song features a descending keyboard hook.[15] Interviewed for the San Antonio Current, A.B. confessed that he added the cencerro which he believed grabbed Cubans and Puerto Rican people to gravitate towards Selena's music.[16] He further said that he played the cencerro in a salsa-style and that it wasn't "coincidental". He believed by adopting this musical style to "Amor Prohbibido" and Selena's repertoire, the singer "went from selling 25,000-50,000 to more than 500,000." copies of her albums.[16]

Lyrically, musicologist Howard Blumenthal interpreted "Amor Prohibido" as a "love forbidden" story by an unprivileged girl who is separated by social class from her love interest and finds that true love is what really matters.[17] Marco Torres of the Houston Press saw similarities between the lyrical content of "Amor Prohibido" and that of Selena's and Pérez's relationship—who were banned from having a romantic relationship because Pérez was a rocker by Selena's father–manager Abraham Quintanilla, Jr.; who later accepted the relationship.[18][19][20] The lyrics have also drawn similarities among female teenagers' "trouble" partners and their parents forbidding their relationship.[21]

The lyrical content of "Amor Prohibido" has foster various opinions from several authors, journalist, and musicologist who found themes in the lyrics to those facing the LGBT community. It has since become an anthem for the LGBT community because of its lyrics.[6] According to Deborah Paredez in her 2009 book Selenidad, the lyrics of "Amor Prohibido" invokes "a legibly queer text" that resonates with the LGBT community.[22] This was echoed by Emma Perez in her book The Decolonial Imaginary: Writing Chicanas into History (1999), who found that the LGBT community reconceptualized the song and found that the recording was most popular with drag queens at nightclubs.[23] Perez further explained that the lyrical content of forbidden love between two people of different social class was altered with prohibited love between same-sex couples.[nb 1] Alejandra Molina of The Orange County Register reported on a tribute to Selena by LGBT fans in Santa Ana, California who found the singer's songs to be "ambiguous" and that "Amor Prohibido" was interpreted "as a love that is forbidden to due to a person's sexuality, race or class."[24]

Other music critics have called the song a Romeo & Juliet-esque recording with society opposing a relationship based on socio-economic status or a look into modern society's views on romantic relationships.[6][20][25][26] Author Ellie D. Hernández wrote in her book about Chicano culture that "Amor Prohibido" spoke of "social and cultural desire that transcends the boundaries of romantic love".[25] Hernández believed that the central theme of the song dwells on social divisions, class, and race "that divides [Selena] from her beloved." which "suggests hegemonic crisis informing Selena's lamentations."[25] Hernández believes that the lyrics spoke about modern societal views on romantic relationships and that one must "live in accordance" to those views or face "emotional banishment from her family and culture."[25] Hernández ended her interpretation of the lyrics that "risking everything for this love is not at all an innocent choice but a decision abundant with agency and consciousness that begins as a consequence of the forbidden."[25]

Critical reception

The majority of contemporary reviews were positive, with "Amor Prohibido" receiving a widespread critical acclaim. In Chican@s in the Conversations (2007), Elizabeth Rodriguez Kessler and Anne Perrin called the song "soap- operaish".[27] South African magazine Drum, called "Amor Prohibido" a "gently rocking song".[28] Leila Cobo, head of the Latin music editorial division of Billboard magazine, called the song "catchy".[29] Marco Torres of the Houston Press called "Amor Prohibido" Selena's "most personal song".[18] Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune, wrote that "Amor Prohibido" had "a bit more contemporary snap to it."[30] Mary Talbot of The New York Daily News, wrote that "Amor Prohibido" and "Como la Flor" (1992) are "two straight-up Tejano hits" and believed it to have been "requiem to Selena's career".[31] Michael Clark of the Houston Chronicle, wrote that A.B. "added even more world-music flourishes" to "Amor Prohibido", "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", "No Me Queda Más", and "Fotos y Recuerdos".[32] John Lannert, from Billboard, called "Amor Prohibido" a "great smash" during its reign atop the Hot Latin Songs chart.[33] BuzzFeed contributor Brian Galindo, called the song an "awesome ode to star-crossed lovers everywhere."[34] Ashley Velez of Neon Tommy called the track "a true testament to the forbidden love" which "proves that love conquers all."[20]

The Daily Vault called the song a "seamless track".[35] Ed Morales wrote that "Amor Prohibido" is a "classic mass market hit that inhabits the memory, easily floating in the summer air of radios on the streets."[26] Don McLeese of the Austin American Statesmen, called the recording "compelling".[36] Ramiro Burr, also a Latin music editorial for Billboard magazine, believed that the song "marked Selena's ascendancy".[37] Burr, also writing for the San Antonio Express-News, wrote that "[Selena] balanced torchy ballads full of hurt and pain such as "Amor Prohibido" with fun dance cumbias with a sense of humor."[38] Burr wrote in the San Antonio Express-News that "songs such as "Baila Esta Cumbia," "La Carcacha," "Como la Flor" and "Amor Prohibido" had that instant appeal, that memorable melodic hook.",[39] and that "Amor Prohibido" and "No Me Queda Más" were "heartbreaking ballads".[40] Texas Monthly editor Joe Nick Patoski called "Amor Prohibido" the "perfect pop cumbia".[15]

Guerra described the song as a "gentle pop-rock arrangement" and felt that this arrangement might have been how it was intended.[85] Nilan Lovelace of Reporter Magazine called the duet version of "Amor Prohibido" an "album favorite" and believed it to be the type of music that Selena would be recording today.[86] Other artists who recorded or covered the song includes Broadway singer Shoshana Bean,[87] African American entertainer Keke Palmer,[88] and American entertainer Jennifer Lopez released as "A Selena Tribute" (2015).[89]
