Sat, Oct 10
Menudo 50
Before boy bands were an industry with a formula, there was a Puerto Rican group that invented most of the formula and then fired its members for turning eighteen. Fifty years later that cruelty reads as part of the myth, and the people who taped posters to their walls in 1983 are now in their fifties with disposable income and unresolved feelings. A fiftieth-anniversary show is not really a concert, it is a room of people who agreed to be sixteen again in public and to be completely sincere about it. Latin pop nostalgia in Los Angeles runs deeper than almost any other kind because so much of the audience arrived here carrying it. Expect mothers and daughters, expect the screaming to be genuine rather than ironic. More than thirty performers cycled through the group across its history, so which era the touring lineup represents is itself a subject of argument among the faithful. Saturday the 10th of October, performance beginning at eight.
