Selena

She was an artist, creator, and performer who challenged boundaries in the musical world. Her role as the Mexican American star was both modern and traditional. She helped bring Tejano to mainstream fame in an innovative way. Her tragic death cut a hole in her growing popularity and, as often happens when a glowing, charming superstar dies young, she left many to mourn all the untapped potential. In order to prevent her accomplishments from being forgotten, many fans over the last few years have been motivated to go further. The tragic death of Selena by a gunman caused emotions in Latino communities similar with the reaction to the deaths of Elvis Presley as well as John Lennon's. A hugely popular Latino performer in North America, Selena's music has touched many lives across cultures. Selena is a stunning and sexy performer. She's often referred to as Latina Madonna. But, she's also considered a role model to be reckoned with because on stage, Selena exhibits an amiable and family-focused attitude. She also actively takes part in anti-drug initiatives.
