Selena

She was singer performer designer and broke down barriers in the industry of music. She was an Mexican American singer that was modern and traditional. She united both worlds and helped bring Tejano music to the forefront. Her tragic death cut a hole in her rising profile and as often happens when a glowing, charming star dies far too young caused many to grieve her unrealized potential. In the years since, her admirers have been working more to keep in mind what she has achieved. The tragic death of Selena by a shooter triggered the outpouring of emotions within Latino communities similar the way people reacted following the deaths of Elvis Presley as well as John Lennon's. The music of Selena, an artist who was hugely popular across Latino communities across North America touched people young as well as old. Selena has been called by some as the Latina Madonna, however she's still a fantastic example to follow. Selena's family values off stage and her participation in AIDS awareness programs make her a good example.
