quintanilla, jr. refurbished an old bus; he named it "big bertha" and the family used it as their tour bus. in the first years of touring, the family sang for food and barely had enough money to pay for gasoline. in 1984, selena recorded her first lp record, "selena y los dinos", for freddie records. despite wanting to record english-language songs, selena recorded tejano music compositions; a male-dominated, spanish-language genre with german influences of polka, jazz, and country music, popularized by mexicans living in the united states. quintanilla, jr. believed selena should record musical compositions related to her heritage. during the recording sessions for the album, selena had to learn spanish phonetically with guidance from her father. in 1985, to promote the album, selena appeared on the "johnny canales show", a popular spanish-language radio program, on which she continued to appear for several years. selena was discovered by musician rick trevino, founder of the tejano music awards, where she won the female vocalist of the year award in 1987 and for nine consecutive years after. the band was often turned down by texas music venues because of the members' ages and because selena was their lead singer. her father was often told by promoters that selena would never be successful because she was a woman in a genre historically dominated by men. by 1988, selena had released five more lp records; "alpha" (1986), "munequito de trapo" (1987), "and the winner is..." (1987), "preciosa" (1988), and "dulce amor" (1988).
