The Original Menudo: Where Are They Now?

If you can still hum songs like “Súbete a mi moto” or “Mi banda toca rock,” you’re not alone. Puerto Rico’s boy band Menudo was a music sensation that sold millions of records at its peak in the 1980s — and its legacy lives on through reunions, concerts and the social media fervor of thousands of fans that still idolize the band members.

And now, here comes a new Menudo.  

“Menudo: A New Beginning,” a search for the five members of a new incarnation of the boy band, kicked off last year, a joint project between actor Mario Lopez and Menudo Productions. Lopez will introduce the members of the new band March 20 on ABC’s Good Morning America, where the boys will debut their first single, “Mi Amore.”  

The boys have big shoes to fill. The original Menudo is considered not only the most iconic Latin pop band but also one of the biggest and most successful boy bands of all time — and the only Latin group to reach this level of success. Although Menudo launched the careers of Ricky Martin and Robi “Draco” Rosa, who later became international solo stars, each one of its members still has a very special place in the hearts of their fans. If you haven’t had a chance to follow them on social media, here’s what some of the most famous Menudo members are up to now:
