Selena

She was a singer, performer and designer and broke down barriers in the world of music. She was both an American-Mexican traditional star who bound together both realms of music in an unison way. And she delivered amazing Tejano music to an affluent public. Her untimely death splintered her growing popularity and, like many times when a glowing, charming singer dies too young, it caused many to grieve her unrealized potential. Fans have been inspired over the years to dig in and work harder to ensure that her achievements won't be lost in the dust. The tragic death by shooting of Tejano singer Selena has triggered a response in the Latino community that can be likened to the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon. The singer was extremely popular throughout Latino communities across North America her music crossed lines of cultural difference to affect people young and old alike. Selena is a stunning sexually attractive performer who is sometimes described as Latina Madonna. She's also considered a role model to be reckoned with because she is offstage and has an amiable and family-focused attitude. She also actively takes part in anti-drug initiatives.
