Selena

Her career included being a performer, artist, designer and singer who broke through boundaries in the music industry. She was simultaneously modern and traditional. She was an Mexican American who united the two worlds in a unique way. The sudden loss of her life that shattered the rising star's profile. That's what happens to many stars who pass away too early. To prevent her successes from going unnoticed many of her fans in the last few years have been motivated to achieve more. The tragic shooting death of Selena triggered a response in the Latino Community that was comparable as the reaction to deaths of Elvis Presley or John Lennon. Selena was a hugely loved singer by Latinos throughout North America. But her songs touched the hearts of both young and the old. Selena was a hot and stunning stage performer, who was often called Latina Madonna, was also a model offstage. She was active in antidrug campaigns.
