Menudo (album)

Menudo is a studio album by the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, released in 1985 by RCA Records. The tracklist includes seven original songs, along with three tracks from the album Evolución translated into English.

The tracklist features four songs produced by Howie Rice, who also worked on the Break Out album by the Pointer Sisters, earning a Grammy Awards nomination. It was overseen by the group’s founder and manager, Edgardo Diaz, alongside producers Carlos Villa and Alejandro Monroy, who collaborated with Rice and Mary Lynne Pagan.

The album was part of RCA's strategy to capture the American market, specifically targeting that audience. However, it was also released in Brazil and other Latin American countries, albeit with limited promotion, hindering its success in the charts.
