Menudo ABC network program

I used to watch this Saturday mornings. It wasn't a full show, but would run at the end of cartoons.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

The guy who formed them Edgardo Diaz made a FORTUNE off of these guys... he says his inspiration came from watching the Jackson 5. He probably also liked the idea of being around a bunch of young boys who he could and would end up (a few of them at least) molesting.. even though he's never been held accountable. Wealth = impunity unfortunately in much of Latin America.

Change it one more time..

^^I've never heard about the behind the scenes stuff. I don't really know anything about Menudo other than a member would get replaced upon turning 16.

Here's a solo track from one of the members after the bunch from the show.

In the 80s I used to love me some Menudo!! Had a few of their albums and everything. They were actually my first concert!

My Spanish teacher showed their movie in class. I also remember them being on Silver Spoons. smile I stopped paying attention to them around the Ricky Martin days (that's when Robi was there too), and don't know about the later versions of the group.
