More details about Menudo
Menudo is widely regarded as the greatest Puerto Rican band of all time. The band garnered popularity in the late 70s following the release of the album Chiquitita, which also received critical acclaim.
However, it wasn't until the release of their sixth album in 1981, Quiero Ser, that the band would achieve global fame. The album featured some of the band's most iconic hits, including Súbete A Mi Moto, Claridad, Mi Banda Toca Rock, Quiero Ser, and many more.
Menudo continued to enjoy massive international stardom throughout the 80s. However, the 90s saw the beginning of the band's decline with the exit of several members and the infamous sexual abuse allegations made against manager Diaz by some of the band's members.
The band later changed its name to MDO but broke up in 2002. A complete revamp in 2007 led to the release of a new EP, but two years later, the line-up disbanded.
Menudo continues to be regarded as one of the biggest pop groups in Latin America and one of the most iconic boy bands of all time. They are also among the most commercially successful Latin American artists of all time, selling around 20 million records across the globe.
