Ramón R. Hernández became the Quintanilla family’s photographer at the beginning of their career and captured their humble beginnings without charging them a dime.
PUBLISHED 5:02 PM CDT Apr. 01, 2023SAN ANTONIO — Ramón R. Hernández is a human encyclopedia. He can literally tell you anything about Tejano music and Latino music. “This is actually the recorder, the two-inch recorder that Flaco Jimenez, Freddy Fender, Valerio Longoria, Tony De La Rosa, Steven Jordan recorded on,” Hernández said, pointing to the giant device.
He became the Quintanilla family’s photographer and captured their humble beginnings without charging them a dime. They paid their dues. Selena Quintanilla even had to change the batteries out of her microphones. Hernandez said calling the late Tejana legend humble would be an understatement. He added she was full of joy.
He also played a huge role in her getting a Coca Cola endorsement and even stayed in touch with the family after she signed with Capitol Records and when she captured her first Grammy. Hernandez said that Selena Quintanilla made folks feel important during concerts.
