Evolución is the sixteenth studio album (fourteenth in Spanish) by the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, released in 1984.
Raúl Reyes, Ray's brother who worked as a backup singer, was considered for Menudo, as was Tico Santana, another name suggested at the time.
According to Martin, "The mistake was so significant that from that moment on, I never changed my position when I wasn’t supposed to… That was Menudo’s discipline: you did things the way you were told, or you were no longer part of the group.
[7] The marketing strategy included a contract for 12 shows in major cities and the possibility of advertising deals, provided the "clean" image of Menudo was respected.
[10] Despite logistical problems, such as a shortened concert in Sorocaba (40 minutes) and the absence of sound and lighting technicians, the production managed to maintain the quality of the show, which was considered a success with 25,000 attendees.
[11] Additionally, live concert snippets were featured on TV shows like Clube do Bolinha (Band) and Programa Barros de Alencar (Record).
According to the Jornal dos Sports on March 28, 1985, after their final performance in São Paulo, the group received a diamond disc for one million copies sold in the country from the hands of the vice president of the Latin-American Division of RCA International.
