Beyoncé's B'Day Anniversary Edition Honors Latin Music Icons

The 20th anniversary reissue of Beyoncé's B'Day includes Spanish-language tracks, samples from Celia Cruz and Selena Quintanilla, and a new collaboration with Maluma. This isn't her first Latin venture—she previously released the Irreemplazable EP in 2007 with help from producer Rudy Pérez. Beyoncé has often cited Selena as an influence from her Houston childhood, even recalling a brief encounter at a mall.
