Selena

She was a designer, singer and performer who broke through the barriers of the industry of music. She was a Mexican American performer who was traditional yet modern. She united both worlds and brought Tejano music into the mainstream. As is often the case when an incredibly bright and charming star dies far too early the tragic loss of her life has thrown her profile into a quagmire. Many mourned all of her potential, which was untapped. Fans are enthused over the years to dig in and work harder to ensure her successes will not be forgotten. The tragic shooting death of Tejano singer Selena caused a resurgence in the Latino community which can be thought of as similar to the responses to the death of Elvis Presley and John Lennon. Selena was a hugely loved singer by Latinos throughout North America. But her music touched both the young and the old. Selena, a sexy and flamboyant actor who has been called Latina Madonna was the model on stage. She participated in antidrug campaigns.
