Selena

She was a designer, singer and performer and broke down barriers in the music industry. The Mexican-American singer was still traditional. She was the first to bring Tejano into the mainstream of music. Like many times with a bright and charming star dies 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. The result is that fans were inspired throughout time to dig their heels even harder working to ensure that her achievements are not forgotten. Selena was the Tejano artist who was fatally shot dead in a shooting accident, has sparked a Latino reaction that could be compared with the response to the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon's death. The music of Selena, an artist who was hugely successful throughout Latino communities throughout North America touched people young as well as old. Selena has been called by many as an Latina Madonna, however she is still a great example to follow. Selena's off-stage family values and involvement with AIDS awareness efforts make her a good example.
