Selena

She was a designer, singer and performer who broke through the barriers of the world of music. Her ethnicity was Mexican American, however she was she was also a traditional. She brought Tejano to mainstream culture. Like many times of a brilliant and friendly star is lost way too soon the tragic loss of her life has thrown her profile into a quagmire. People mourned the entire extent of its untapped potential. In the years since, her admirers have been working more to not forget what she's achieved. The tragic death by shooting of Tejano singer Selena caused a resurgence in the Latino community that can be thought of as similar to the responses in the wake of the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon. Selena was a hugely popular singer among Latinos in North America. But her music touched both the young and the old. Selena has been called by some as the Latina Madonna, but she's still an excellent role model. Selena's values of family life offstage and her participation with AIDS awareness campaigns provide a great example.
