I bought this CD for a few reasons: (1) I heard "Yo Te Amo" on Live and it became one of my favorite songs by Selena (2) I run what is arguably the #1 Selena site on the internet, and I needed the CD because of that. Ok, so I love Selena. This CD is great for being one of her early CDs with EMI-Latin. It showcases Selena's beautiful voice on originals such as "Enamorada de Ti," "No Quiero Saber," "Aunque No Salga El Sol," etc. I like almost all the songs on the - it is great. If you're a Selena fan, get this CD (either that, or you probably have had it for years, I just got it yesterday). Selena once again proves that she can perform Tejano just as well as what could be classified as old-fashioned pop/rock (No Quiero Saber, Enamorada de Ti, Aunque No Salga El Sol). Like my banner says, SELENA ROCKS.

The album title says it all ("Ven Conmigo"--"Come With Me"). After hearing some of Selena y Los Dinos's best work you'll want more :-) A must for Tejano fans.

The more i listen to her absolutely fun and beautiful music and passionate yet lulling voice, the more i am reminded that mexico has undergone one of the greatest, if not the greatest loss in the world. One cannot help but remember the ever-precious, ever-sparkling voice of Selena along with her gorgeous and infectious cumbias, such as La Tracalera, Despues De Enero, and Ya Ves, and then think of how such a princess was taken from her throne too young. obviously those 3 were among my favorites from this disc along with the ever-famous ballad which i will mention at the end of this review. i also loved her pop numbers, No Quiero Saber and Enamorada De Ti. Selena just puts the word electricity back into pop. and if it was never there before, then she invented it. selena is so amazing that she can take a style such as tejano and turn it into a fun and loveable, universal style for listeners of all different ethnicities. of course, i am talking about Ven Conmigo. with this style of music, i can safely say she has now made me love everything! you are taken through an upbeat paradise of happiness, heaven, rhythm and soul, and then an emotional ballad comes on, and tears at your heart strings to know that the magic voice behind it has faded with the sunset.. with this, i am talking about Aunque No Salga El Sol. Yes Selena, even if the sun doesn't rise again because you are gone, we will always love you.

This is the Selena album I listen to most often. Selena y los Dinos' Tejano/tex-mex roots have a larger presence on Ven Commigo than in later albums such as Entre A Mi Mundo and Amor Prohibido (although I love these as well). There's a wider range of styles--rancheras, conjuntos, even a bit of pop--all of which Selena handles well. One of Selena's first regional hits, the catchy "Baile esta cumbia" is on the album, but I also like the more Tejano-driven songs like "Yo te amo" and "Ya ves." The title track "Ven Conmigo" has a more traditional Tex-mex sound as well, but it's also reminiscent of Louisiana-style zydeco music (which shares with tejano extensive use of the accordion).
My understanding of Spanish is adequate (it could use some improvement though), but you don't need to know it to enjoy the music, or Selena's lovely voice. Most of her English-language songs don't have the bounce, hooks and liveliness of her Spanish work, so if your knowledge of Selena is limited to "I Could Fall In Love" or "Dreaming of You," you're not getting the whole Selena experience. Ven Commigo would be a good place to start.

Ven Conmigo is one of Selena's earlier CD's, and it just starts to scratch the surface of the enormous talent that Selena possessed.

All of the vocals are very strong here. "Ya Ves" is an example of that. Very catchy tune, and Selena sings it with confidence. There are also many different sounds to be found here. There are two dancy tunes: "Enamorada De Ti" and "No Quiero Saber". Ballads as well, such as "Aunque No Salga El Sol".

I don't speak Spanish, though I'd love to learn, but I have no idea what those titles are in English, but I do know that Selena did an English version of "Enamorada De Ti", which was re-named/translated as "Is It The Beat".

The music was very well done and Selena teases us here, with what was yet to come.

Since her death, many compilations have been released, but when all is said and done, the original music is the best. Ven Conmigo (Come With Me), released in 1990, is her second CD with EMI-Latin, and contains many hits. "Aunque No Salga El Sol" is a lovely and touching ballad, one of the most enchanting I've ever heard in any language. She experiments with pop and rap on "Enamorada De Ti" and the beat of "No Quiero Saber" is very fun and contagious, same goes for "Baila Esta Cumbia." I would have to say that my favorite number is "Ya Ves." Every song displays Selena and her group's talents in both voice and instrument. These songs are very catchy and prove that Selena was a true artist.

I JUST LOVE THIS CD AND ALL OF THE OTHER CDS OF SELENA , BECUASE SHE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SINGERS AND I STILL CAN'T BELIVE THAT SHE IS NOT HERE WITH US . I HAVE TAPES OF HER THAT I WHACTH EVERYDAY AND I LISTEN TO HER MUSIC ALL THE TIME.I REALLY LIKE HER SHE WAS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS EVER.

Selena Q. Perez, the queen of tajano music is one of the best singers in the mexican american and tex history! Now you have to buy this it's one of the best like her and her band is/was.

What an amazing album this is.I remember I was small child at the time and when I first heard "Baila Esta Cumbia" on the radio...I said to myself..who is this girl?I finally found out who this was and I rushed out to get the album and I've been a fan since that day.....My other favorites on this album are No Quiero Saber,Ya Ves,and Ven Conmigo....This is a Selena classic album.Make sure you pick a copy of this one up!
