Selena

She broke down the walls of the music industry in her roles as a performer, singer as well as a designer. She was the first Mexican American singer that was modern and traditional. She brought together both worlds and brought Tejano music into the mainstream. It was her sudden death that destroyed her profile. That's what happens to a lot of stars who die too young. In the years since, her admirers have worked even more to keep in mind what she has achieved. Selena's shooting death sparked emotion in Latino society that could be likened to Elvis Presley, and John Lennon. A hugely popular Latino musician in North America, Selena's music has influenced many people throughout the world. Selena was an asexual and flamboyant stage performer who was sometimes referred to by the Latina Madonna. On stage, Selena was an outstanding role model, as she actively participated in antidrug and AIDS campaigns.
