Selena

She is a performer as well as a designer, and music innovator. She was a Mexican American artist who was both traditional and modern. She brought together both worlds and brought Tejano music into the mainstream. As is often the case with a bright and friendly star is lost in a hurry and unexpectedly, it caused her to lose the popularity she had been gaining. A lot of mourners reacted to the potential that was not fully realized. In the following years, fans were inspired to work even harder in order to ensure that her achievements would not be forgotten. Her tragic murder by a gunman caused an outpouring of emotion in Latino communities, similar to those who reacted to the deaths of Elvis Presley as well as John Lennon's. She was an incredibly well-known singer for Latinos across North America. But her music touched both the young as well as the elderly. Selena was a sexy, flamboyant performer on stage and was often referred to by the Latina Madonna. Off-stage Selena was an excellent role model since she actively participated in antidrug and AIDS campaigns.
