Abe Quintanilla: A Legacy That Carries On

Summary

---

In addition, he is now making his state-of-the-art stage/video complex to bands who want to produce a broadcast quality DVD. Quintanilla makes his top-notch video services alluring by using three to four high resolution cameras plus the option of a 250-person live-authence. However, the icing on the cake is that the audio is mixed in three formats, digital stereo, 5.1 surround and DTS surround sound. Some of their most recent releases are the "Flaco Jiménez Live" and "Campanas de América En Vivo" DVDs.

Speaking of audio productions, a feather in Quintanilla's cap and a credit to his reputation is "Música de Mi Abuelo." The CD, which consists of valses, huapanos, polkas, shotis' and redovas performed by Narciso Martínez, Bruno Villarreal, Pedro Ayala and other founding fathers of conjunto music, is a jewel to behold and listen to, as not re-mixed, but superbly, digitally re-recorded. The musicians on this gem are Felipe Pérez, accordion; Jesse García, bajo sexton; Moore, bass; and Daniel Flores on drums. This CD is Quintanilla's musical educational gift to this generation and many generations to follow.

As for [Selena]'s museum, her father says last year over 26,000 people viewed the many numerous exhibits, but I bet they didn't get to see Quintanilla's private collection of metal automobile replicas and his collection of "homies," or the large space where a team of graphic artists are working on creating the artwork for future posters and CDs, plus silk-screening tee-shirts for Q Productions artists and any other band that needs this service.
