Menudo was a Puerto Ricanboy band that was formed in the 1970s by producer Edgardo Díaz. Menudo was also one of the biggest Latin boy bands in history, releasing their first album in 1977. The band achieved much success, especially during the 1980s, becoming the most popular Latin American teen musical group of the era. The group disbanded in 2009.
The band was a starting point for superstars like Ricky Martin and Draco Rosa, who were members around the mid-1980s during their youth.
History
Success in the 1980s
In the late 1970s, the group released several moderately-successful albums (including "Fuego", which yielded hits "Ella A-A", "Fuego" and "A Bailar!") and new members replaced the original ones. Then in 1981, the album Quiero Ser launched the group—now René Farrait, Johnny Lozada, Xavier Serbiá, Miguel Cancel, and remaining original member Ricky Melendez—into stardom. It included hit songs like "Quiero Ser", "Súbete A Mi Moto", "Rock En La TV", "Claridad", and "Mi Banda Toca Rock".
Rubén Gómez Colón (July 13, 1927 – July 26, 2004) was a Major League Baseball right-handed starting pitcher who became the first Puerto Rican to pitch in a World Series game. He was also the winning pitcher in the first ever Major League Baseball game played west of Kansas City. In his homeland, Gómez was nicknamed El Divino Loco ("The Divine Madman"), on account of his willingness to pitch in tough situations.
After going 17–9 in his second season, Gómez pitched and won Game 3 of the 1954World Series in the Giants sweep of the Cleveland Indians. He thus became the first Puerto Rican player to be a member of a World Series championship team, becoming a hero in his native country (schools closed the day he pitched in the World Series so the kids could watch the game). When Gómez returned to Puerto Rico, he was greeted by thousands of fans at the San Juan airport and a holiday was declared.

What Happened to the Boyband Menudo? The Dark Secrets Behind Their Fame
Once upon a time, there was a small group with a big name: Menudo. Despite its modest meaning, ‘small size’ in Spanish, the group was destined for great things. They quickly became favorites of Latin pop, loved not only at home but also in North America and Europe, showing the world that music knows no borders.
Under the direction of producer Edgardo Diaz, Menudo was not just a musical group, it was a constantly evolving phenomenon. Edgardo, a visionary, implemented an unprecedented strategy: replacing members when they turned 16. This approach kept the group eternally young and appealing. But this youth came with great challenges. The pressure of living under constant attention towards young celebrities began to reveal cracks.
