Selena
She was a performer as well as a designer, and music innovator. She was a Mexican American performer who was both traditional and modern. She brought both cultures together and helped bring Tejano music to the forefront. In the same way that many people mourn a star who passed away too young, her death was untimely and shattered an energizing career. Fans have struggled throughout the years to ensure that her legacy is kept alive. The tragic death by shooting of Tejano singer Selena spawned a reaction in the Latino community which can be thought of as similar to the responses in the wake of the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon. Selena is a hugely popular Latino musician across North America, Selena's music has influenced many people across cultures. Selena has been called by some as a Latina Madonna, however she is still a great character model. Selena's family values off stage and her participation with AIDS awareness efforts make her a good example.
