Selena

She broke down walls within the music business as a performer, singer and designer. Her double role as the Mexican American singer was modern and traditional. She brought Tejano to mainstream fame through her ingenuity. The tragic loss of her life shattered her rise in popularity, and it is what happens often the moment a brilliant, warm star dies far too young caused many to grieve all the possibilities that were not realized. The result is that fans have been inspired over time to dig to work even more to ensure that her achievements won't be lost in the dust. Selena's tragic death by shooting provoked a reaction from the Latino Community, similar as the reaction to deaths of Elvis Presley or John Lennon. Selena's songs, an artist who was tremendously popular within Latino Communities across North America touched people young as well as old. Selena is a hot, stunning performer in the stage and has been compared with the Latina Madonna. However, she's also a role model to families, active in drug as well as AIDS awareness efforts.
