Selena

She was a performer, artist performer, creator and broke boundaries in the music world. The dual nature of her function as the Mexican American singer was traditional and contemporary. She helped bring Tejano into the mainstream in an innovative way. Much like with a bright and charming star dies far too early the tragic loss of her life caused her to lose the popularity she had been gaining. Many mourned all of her potential, which was untapped. As a result fans have been inspired over time to dig their heels even harder working to ensure her successes will not be forgotten. Selena's shooting death sparked an emotional response within the Latino society that could be likened with Elvis Presley, and John Lennon. Selena was a hugely loved singer by Latinos throughout North America. But her songs touched the hearts of both young and old. A flamboyant sexy stage performer often referred to as the Latina Madonna Selena was nonetheless thought of as a role model off-stage she was family oriented involved in anti-drug initiatives as well as AIDS awareness programmes.
