It's a throwback sure to bring the tears.

Jennifer Lopez performed a moving tribute to Grammy-winning artist Selena Quintanilla during Thursday's Billboard Latin Music Awards. Selena died 20 years ago, murdered at the age of 23.

Lopez performed a medley of Selena's songs, including "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" and "No Me Queda Más." The singer is no stranger to Selena's music -- she played Selena in a 1997 Warner Bros. produced biopic that helped propel Lopez to movie stardom.

Los Dinos, Selena's band, performed alongside Lopez. Selena's sister Suzette and brother A.B. were also at the award show, appearing on stage at the end of the performance to hug Lopez.
