}} "Amor Prohibido" ((英語: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 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. She pitched the idea to her brother–music producer A.B. Quintanilla who began writing the track with Selena y Los Dinos backup vocalist Pete Astudillo. Recording sessions took place in a San Antonio, Texas recording studio. 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 (Prohibido" ) and ''Entre a Mi Mundo'' (1992), especially." 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." 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." 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. "Amor Prohibido" was released on April 13, 1994 in the United States and Mexico. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amor Prohibido (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
