SELENA QUINTANILLA   

                   The person i am researching is Selena Quintanilla also known as "the top Latin artist of the 90's"!She's a Mexican american born in LakeJackson,Texas. 

One of Selena's dreams was to have her own farm. Towards the end of her life she and Chris had purchased 10 acres of land just outside of Corpus Christi, on which they planned to build a farm, raise horses, and build their own house.As a teenager Selena's favorite TV show was the 80's hit 'Moonlighting' which starred Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepard. The name Selena comes from the words "Selenite" and "moonstone". Selena also designed all of her concert outfits which she later turned into a clothing line. She even built two boutiques in which she sold her designs
                   I decide to do my Latin musical artist research on Selena Quintanilla because she's really inspired me. my mom grew up as a teen listening to her music... she said it was like a Justin Bieber thing in that time. She said teens loved Selena and not only saw her as a great singer but as the girl who would laugh all the time and care for her fans. Although now Selena rests in peace she's inspired me to research her in many ways. She's showed me that you should always stay positive no matter what. She's showed me that life is short and that you should be loud and have fun and appreciate life. Selena's music is another reason I've chosen her. The fantastic way she was able to combine "cumbia" and "techno" together created one of her best selling hits "Techno Cumbia"
