Ricky Martin Is Coming Back To Shake His Bon Bon.

Menudo kicked him out when he sprouted his first chest hair but he came back with a vengeance doing it up solo style.



According to Wikipedia Ricky Martin's first album, Me Amaras, debuted in 1993 selling one million copies world wide. But most people didn't have a taste of what this Puerto Rican papi could do until his acclaimed English album, self titled, in 1999. With hits like Livin' La Vida Loca and duets with stars like Madonna, Martin skyrocketed to fame. Martin's discography could be found on Wikipedia if you want to learn more.

What many people don't know about Ricky Martin is that he's more than a hip shaking DIVO but he's also an activist too. Wikipedia points out that he is actually the UNICEF Goodwill ambassador and has established the Ricky Martin Foundation in his home country of Puerto Rico for the welfare of children around the globe. He also has collaborated with the International Organization for Migration on the "Llama y Vive" (Call and Live), a campaign which is aimed to facilitate prevention of human trafficking, protection of the youngest victims of child trafficking, and prosecution of the traffickers. (Wikipedia.org) It's nice to know there are some stars out there using their fame for good!

If this hasn't swayed your decision to see Ricky Martin I don't know what will! It's pretty much guaranteed that the show will be full of latin flavor and why not support someone who gives back to the community?
