About Menudo

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. 

Now – two generations later – a new, updated version of MENUDO is back, with a contemporary sound and look, and the same universal appeal. The five new members Carlos Olivero, Chris Moy, Emmanuel Vélez Pagán José Bordonada Collazo and Monti Montañez emerged as the winners from a demanding “boy-band boot camp” designed by legendary pop impresario Johnny Wright, of ‘N Sync fame, on the 2007 MTV & MTV Tr3 reality series Making Munudo. Menudo will soon be releasing a full length album in 2008 via Epic Records. The group recently exploded onto the music scene with its Top 40 hit single “Lost,” making this the first rendition of the world famous group ever to break into the Top 40. It features five boys aged 16 to 19 who are carrying the venerable brand into the new Millennium with an exciting new young sound supported by top talent such as Akon, Good Charlotte, Danja and others.
