Selena

She was a musician singer-performer, and designer who broke through barriers in the industry. She was an Mexican American singer who was traditional yet modern. She united both worlds and brought Tejano music into mainstream culture. It was an emerging star who's tragic death threw it into turmoil. It is also the case when a brilliant, genial and young musician passes away too early people mourn the possibilities that she could not yet achieve. Fans have worked harder throughout the years to keep her legacy alive. The tragic shooting death of Tejano singer Selena spawned a reaction within the Latino community that could be thought of as similar to the responses to the death of Elvis Presley and John Lennon. She was an incredibly well-known singer for Latinos across North America. But her music was a hit with both the young and old. Selena is an edgy and sexy performer. She's often referred to by the name of Latina Madonna. But, she's also considered a role model to be reckoned with because on stage, Selena exhibits an amiable and family-focused attitude. She also actively participates in anti-drug programs.
