Las Cheris

Las Cheris was a famous Puerto Rican girl group of the early 1980s. It was composed by four girls aged 11 to 15.

After Menudo's worldwide success, many other bands in Latin America, and particularly in Puerto Rico, tried to emulate Menudo's success, including girl bands. Las Cheris was one of these bands and Monedas was another one. Las Cheris and Monedas, for example, pointed out in such magazines as "Vea" and others, that they wanted to be the “female version of Menudo”.

Las Cheris enjoyed popularity on Puerto Rican radio from 1983 to 1985, having a few hits, “Superchiquillo” (Superboy) being their most popular song on the radio. After that period, they faded away. However, one of them, Melina Leon, is now enjoying wild success as an international Merengue singer. Mariadonis Class, another member of the group is the daughter of another famous puertorican singer, José Miguel Class.

This is totally false. There was a better known girl band during this time (1983-85) called Fresitas. They were the ones with the hit single, "Superchiquillo". This song was written by well-known singer/songwriter Lou Briel.
