A.B. Quintanilla had a small get together at his house Monday night and he invited all of his 945+ thousand Facebook followers to the party! Quintanilla, older brother of the late Selena Quintanilla and former bass player of Los Dinos, livestreamed the festivities happening at his house, where his guest of honor was artist Rob Ferrel, better known as "Rob The Original."
Rob, a barber known for doing awesome designs on hair, also has major skills creating masterpieces with salt. "We're going to do a portrait in honor of Selena," Ferrel said via Facebook Mentions. "The very first livestream salt portrait that I've done. I'm honored to do this with A.B....," he said, as he prepared his materials on top of the dining table. By the way, the materials were salt and a business card.
Before the magic began, A.B., also founder and musician of Kumbia Kings, revealed how his friendship with Rob was born. "I've had the honors of meeting a very, very talented friend of mine, carnal, homie," he said. "This gentleman he just got back from Italy doing a hair show over there. He's not only an amazing barber, but he's an amazing artist. He just did an art piece for Eddy Murphy and I know some of you have seen his stuff, it's none other than my boy, Rob Ferrel," he said of Rob, whose work has been admired by celebrities such as Rihanna.
In a nearly 2-hour long video, we observe Rob recreating one of the Queen of Tejano's signature pictures from the "Amor Prohibido" photo shoot. While he was doing this, he was jamming to some of Selena's greatest hits from "Live! The Last Concert" album. He also answered some fan questions, like the beginning of his career and he also disclosed that he always recycles the salt. "Thank you Rob The Original for showing my sister love!!! Art done in salt!!!," expressed A.B. of the final product. Check out some of the gorgeous photos below.
