List of Menudo members
This is a list of Menudo members. Unlike most bands, Edgardo Díaz's Menudo had a long list of members, because the band's members had to leave after turning 18 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 four distinctive eras, and one final, but failed attempt to recreate the band's former success.
Tick Tock and MDO are not continuations of Menudo, but rather spin-offs.
Past members in bold denote the ones who still perform as solo artists.
