Selena

She was a performer, designer and a music innovator. She was the first Mexican American artist that was modern and traditional. She united both worlds and helped bring Tejano music to the forefront. 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 all the untapped potential. Since then, her fans have worked even harder in an effort to keep in mind what she's accomplished. Selena, the Tejano singer who tragically killed during a shooting incident, has sparked an Latino response that could be thought of as similar to the reactions to John Lennon's death. Selena is a hugely popular Latino performer in North America, Selena's music has touched the lives of many across cultures. Selena, a sexy and flamboyant stage performer, who was often referred to as Latina Madonna, was also the model on stage. She was active in antidrug campaigns.
