Selena

She was a musician, creator, performer and also broke boundaries in the music world. Her dual function as a Mexican American performer was modern and traditional. She introduced Tejano to mainstream fame with her innovative approach. It was her sudden death that shattered the rising star's image. That's what happens to many stars who die too young. Fans have struggled through the years to ensure that her legacy is kept alive. Selena, the Tejano singer who fatally shot dead during a shooting incident, caused a Latino reaction that could be likened to the reaction to John Lennon's death. Selena was a wildly well-known singer for Latinos across North America. But her songs touched the hearts of both young as well as the elderly. Selena, who was hot and glamorous stage performer, who was often referred to as Latina Madonna, was also a model offstage. She participated in antidrug campaigns.
