Selena

She is a singer as well as a designer, and music pioneer. She was at once an American-Mexican traditional singer who brought together the two worlds in a singular way--and provided amazing Tejano music to a mass crowd. The tragic loss of her life shattered her rise in popularity, and as often happens the moment a brilliant, warm star dies far too young has left many mourning her unrealized potential. Fans are enthused over through the years to dig and work harder to ensure that her achievements are not forgotten. The tragic death by shooting of Tejano singer Selena has triggered a response in the Latino community which can be thought of as similar to the responses to the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon. The most well-known Latino performer across North America, Selena's music has influenced many people across cultures. Selena was a hot and flamboyant stage performer, who was often referred to as Latina Madonna, was also an actress offstage. Selena was also active in antidrug campaigns.
