Los Chicos (Puerto Rican boy band)

Los Chicos were a Puerto Rican boy band that was popular in Puerto Rico, and in South and Central America during the early to mid 1980s, which was created to rival Menudo's success.

Post break-up
Los Chicos' most popular members were Chayanne (now an international superstar), Jorge Lopez, or Giro, who was signed to Sony Music and has had a long-term relationship with the label as a salsa artist with over 10 albums, many gold records and a Grammy Nomination. Giro is still performing and has released new albums with other labels; in 2010 he created Giro Productions, and with the help of Chino Rodriguez, now his manager, has released the latest album Todavia Hay Amor on OMG records and Giro Productions, Migue Santa (who became a helicopter pilot), Tony Ocasio and Rey Díaz. Currently Rey is working as a sales executive in a prominent firm at Puerto Rico. Future Menudo member Sergio Blass was a member of Los Chicos for a short period of time, he was the only singer to be a member of both Los Chicos and Menudo. Sergio Blass was also a member of arguably the third most popular boy band in Puerto Rico during the early eighties, Concepto Juvenil, making him the only person to be in all three bands. In 1990, Tony Ocasio joined the United States Army and was sent to Iraq where he fought at in Operation Desert Storm. In the aftermath of the success achieved by six former Menudos in a comeback nicknamed El Reencuentro, some former members of Los Chicos spoke about making a comeback too. They had one concert, as 'Los Chicos-El Retorno". Chayanne did not participate in it. In August 2012, three former members of Los Chicos released a tell all book named "Los Chicos ~ Mil Recuerdos Sus Historias" written by Joana Acevedo Ocasio with the help of Tony Ocasio (Original lead singer of Los Chicos) and original group members Rey Diaz and Migue Santa. The book recounts their experiences as members of the famous boy band, how they reached stardom and lost it all to mismanagement. Former member Jose Miguel "Migue" Santa died of respiratory failure on March 19, 2019, at the age of 58. ==Members==
