Selena

She broke through the barriers of the world of music by performing, singing as well as a designer. She was a Mexican American singer who was traditional yet modern. She united both worlds and brought Tejano music into mainstream culture. Her tragic death cut a hole in her rising profile and it is what happens often the moment a brilliant, warm singer dies too young, it caused many to grieve every potential that was not fully realized. Fans are enthused over through the years to dig and work harder to make sure her accomplishments won't be lost in the dust. Selena's tragic death by shooting caused a reaction in the Latino Community that was comparable as the reaction to deaths of Elvis Presley or John Lennon. She was an incredibly loved singer by Latinos throughout North America. But her music touched both the young as well as the elderly. An edgy, sexy stage actress frequently referred to as the Latina Madonna Selena was nonetheless thought of as a role model on stage she was a family-oriented involved in anti-drug initiatives as well as AIDS awareness programmes.
