Chiquitita (released in Puerto Rico as Menudo) is Menudo's third Spanish album, released in 1979, this time featuring brothers Carlos, Óscar and Ricky Meléndez (aged 14, 13, and 11 respectively), Fernando Sallaberry (14), and new member René Farrait (12). René replaced Nefty Sallaberry after Nefty reached the age limit set by Menudo management.
In 1979, the quintet had already established itself as a successful act in its homeland, Puerto Rico. Songs from their previous albums managed to chart in countries like the Dominican Republic.
