MENUDO

Straight out of Puerto Rico, in the 1970’s came the greatest and the first talented groups within the last 30 years. This group did it all they sang, and danced. This group sold over 40 million dollars worth of records worldwide. They broke attendance records, including 13 consecutive sellout performances at the Radio City Music Hall, 200,000 fans at soccer stadium in Rio de Janeiro, over 500,000 fans at a Mexico City concert and launching the career of international superstar Ricky Martin. The name of this group is call the MENUDO.
The music group Menudo was the first international group to record an album in a foreign language. These languages include Spanish, English, Portuguese, Italian, and a language called Tagalo. This language is spoken in the Philippians. The group broke so many records that they were placed in the Guinness Book of World Records. Two of Menudo’s big hits were “Quiero Ser” and “Subete a mi moto.” Some of the ex-members of the group tried to make it on their own, such as members like Ruben Gomez, but were not successful. However, there was one person who did succeed in being coming a Latin American Pop Star sensation. This young man goes by the name of Ricky Martian. Rickey joined the Menudo group at the age of twelve. An album that features young Ricky is called Can’t Get Enough, with the song titled “no one can love you more.”
Unfortunately the group members were not allowed to continue to sing, or dance in the group after age sixteen. Now there is a new group of young men who are trying to bring back the sound, performance, sellout shows, record breaking events and just an overall great sound of Pop Music. They are trying to bring back the sound and trying to be different, but keep the same routine.
