Ricky Martin

Puerto Rican singer and performer who rose to fame with Menudo and later achieved international solo success with Latin-pop crossover hits such as "Livin' La Vida Loca" and "The Cup of Life."

Born Enrique Martín Morales. Former member of the boy band Menudo; major international breakthrough in the late 1990s with English- and Spanish-language hits.

One DeBaser review (The Punisher) frames an airport anecdote around Ricky Martin's La Bomba (Remixes). The reviewer finds the music predictable and commercial, aimed at dance/party crowds. Musical critique: simplistic harmonies and formulaic Latin-pop production. Rating given: 2/5.

For:Readers of DeBaser and fans of pop/Latin pop looking for irreverent album criticism.
