MENUDO
The Latino boy band Menudo performs to an
ecstatic crowed during Nickelodeon's Slime Across America Tour at Venice Beach
on Saturday, July 26, 2008. Menudo was formed in the 70s by producer Edgardo
Diaz, releasing their first album in 1977. The band achieved much success,
especially during the 80s, becoming the most popular Puerto Rican teen musical
group of the era. During its course, the band had several radio hits. Their
success led them to also release two feature films:Una Aventura Llamada
Menudo and Menudo: La PelĂcula. The band was a starting point for
stars like Ricky Martin, Fernando Romantico, and Robi Draco Rosa, who were
members during their youth. Coming out of Puerto Rico in the 1970s, MENUDO was
the first, and the greatest, of a wave of talented singing and dancing groups
that's still relevant 30 years later. The legendary group has sold over 40
million records worldwide, broke numerous attendance records including: 13
consecutive sellout performances at Radio City Music Hall, 200,000 fans at a
soccer stadium in Rio de Janeiro, over 500,000 fans at a Mexico City concert and
launching the career of international superstar Ricky Martin.
