Selena

The singer-songwriter was also a, performer and designer who broke down barriers in the industry. She was Mexican-American, but still traditional. She introduced Tejano into the mainstream of music. The sudden loss of her life that shattered the rising star's profile. This is what happens to a lot of stars who die far too young. Over the years, the fans became inspired to work even harder to make sure that Selena's achievements would not be forgotten. Selena's shooting death sparked emotions in the Latino community that is similar with Elvis Presley, and John Lennon. Selena was a wildly well-known singer for Latinos across North America. But her songs touched the hearts of both young and the old. Selena may have been hailed by some as a Latina Madonna, but she's still an excellent role model. Selena's off-stage family values and involvement in AIDS awareness campaigns provide a great example.
