Selena

She was a performer, designer and a music innovator. She was the first Mexican American artist who was both traditional and modern. She brought together both worlds and brought Tejano music into the mainstream. Her tragic death cut a hole in her rising profile and as often happens when a glowing, charming singer dies too young, it has left many mourning her unrealized potential. Since then, her fans are working even harder to never forget the achievements she's accomplished. Selena, the Tejano performer who fatally shot dead in a shooting accident, has sparked an Latino reaction that can be thought of as similar to the reactions to Elvis Presley's and John Lennon's deaths. Selena was a wildly loved Latino performer throughout North America. Her music transcended cultural barriers and touched the hearts of younger and more mature adults. Selena is a flamboyant sexy performer, sometimes referred by the name of Latina Madonna. She's also a respected role model because on stage, Selena exhibits an attitude of family and active is involved in anti-drug campaigns.
