Remember the song, “Like a Cannonball” from the film, Cannonball Run 2? Or how about the remake of “If You're Not Here?” Perhaps, “Livin' La Vida Loca” and “The Cup of Life (La Copa de la Vida)” and the Latin heartthrob who sang both of them, Ricky Martin. Well, before Martin became the swoon-worthy solo artist that he now is, he first got a taste of fame as part of the all-Latino male five-member singing group, Menudo.
Aside from Martin, Menudo also produced other talents like Robi Draco Rosa and Sergio Blass. Following a successful run in the `80s, Menudo went dormant for several years until now. MTV is bringing back the boy band via its reality search, Making Menudo, which begins tonight.
