Selena

She is a singer also a fashion designer and a music pioneer. She was both traditional and modern, a Mexican American who brought two worlds in a distinctive way. She was a rising star but her sudden death broke it. And as is common with a talented, charismatic young performer dies too soon, many mourned the potential that she could not yet attain. Since then, her fans are working even harder in an effort to keep in mind what she has achieved. The tragic shooting death of Selena provoked a response from the Latino community that was similar with the reactions to the death of Elvis Presley or John Lennon. Selena was a wildly loved Latino singer across North America. Her music transcended the boundaries of culture and touched the hearts of youngsters as well as older adults. Selena is an edgy sexy performer, sometimes referred by the name of Latina Madonna. She's also considered a role model to be reckoned with because she is offstage and has a family-oriented attitude and actively takes part in anti-drug initiatives.
