Selena

She was a performer also a fashion designer and a music innovator. She was at once modern and traditional. She was a Mexican American who brought two worlds together in a distinct way. As is often the case with a bright and genial star passes away way too soon the tragic loss of her life shattered her growing profile. A lot of mourners reacted to its untapped potential. Fans are enthused over time to dig and work harder to ensure that her achievements will not be forgotten. The tragic death by shooting of Tejano singer Selena spawned a reaction in the Latino community which can be likened to the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon. Selena was a wildly loved singer by Latinos throughout North America. But her music was a hit with both the young and old. Selena may have been hailed by some as an Latina Madonna, but she is still a great role model. Selena's values of family life offstage and her participation in AIDS awareness campaigns are exemplary.
