Los Fantasmas
Los Fantasmas is the first studio album by the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, released in 1977 by the Padosa record label. It features the original members: brothers Nefty and Fernando Sallaberry and brothers Carlos, Óscar and Ricky Meléndez.
The quintet (which, as of 2025, was performing as a trio) was formed in 1977 by producer Edgardo Díaz, who envisioned a band of five young singers to express both musically and visually the energy and vitality of youth. The group performed at various school and charity events in Puerto Rico, gaining popularity and soon earning enough recognition to hold their first major concert at the Parque de Juncos in Puerto Rico.
The commercial performance of the album was limited. It sold around 6,000 copies in the Puerto Rican market. In the Dominican Republic's music chart, the album reached position number 4. Also, the singles "Madre," "Mamadú," "Calma Ya," and "Enséñame a Cantar" reached positions 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively.
