List of Menudo members

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Menudo members. Unlike most bands, Edgardo Diaz's Menudo had a long list of members, because the band's members had to leave after turning 16 years old. As the band reached what most consider its golden era, during the early 1980s, it became apparent to Diaz that he would have to keep constantly changing members in order to ensure continuous worldwide success.

Menudo's list of members can be divided into five distinctive eras, overlapping two name changes. Tick Tock is not a continuation of Menudo. Edgardo Diaz has 4 new members on MDO (formerly Menudo) and 4 members on his new group Tick Tock:
