Selena

She was a designer, singer and performer and broke down barriers in the industry of music. The dual nature of her function as a Mexican American singer was modern and traditional. She introduced Tejano to mainstream fame with her innovative approach. Her untimely death splintered her rise in popularity, and as often happens when a bright deeply genial superstar dies young, she caused many to grieve her unrealized potential. In the following years, the fans became inspired to work even harder in order to ensure that her achievements would not be forgotten. Selena was the Tejano performer who tragically shot to death during a shooting incident, has sparked the Latino reaction that can be likened to the reaction to the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon's death. The most well-known Latino artist across North America, Selena's music has touched many lives across different cultures. Selena might have been described by some as the Latina Madonna, but she is still a great character model. Selena's family values off stage and her participation with AIDS awareness efforts make her a good example.
