Culturally speaking, I do feel like Mexican-American families are very very close.
One of the things we found out early on was Abraham had discovered the raw talent in his home with Selena.
The family shared actual recordings from that time when Selena was seven or eight years old singing, and it was incredible to hear her.
When he saw that she had such an incredible talent, being a musician himself in a past life, he did everything in his power to provide that support system.
