MENUDO WILL RETURN
Menudo, the popular Puerto Rican teen pop band of the '70s and '80s, is being revived.
Menudo Entertainment bought all the merchandising and property rights about a month ago from Latin record executive Oscar Lloyd and is working with talent agencies and radio stations in its search for band members, company spokeswoman Cathy Callegari said Wednesday.
"Our aim is to target the 'tween market,'' Callegari told The Associated Press. ``We feel there's a void there. What happens is, artists start young like Britney Spears, and they get old really quick and move into a new age of fans.''
Auditions for boys ages 10 to 16 are planned for this summer in the United States and Latin America. Plans are for finalists to be nationally televised and judged by a celebrity panel with worldwide viewer voting.
Five band members and two alternates will be selected.
Callegari said the new group will eventually record an album in both English and Spanish, but the boys don't need to be bilingual.
