Two years after leaving the top-selling Latin boy band Cnco, Joel Deleōn wants the world to hear the music that captures who he really is. After breaking away from a management team that he felt limited his musical output, the Mexican-American star is making his debut with the aptly titled EP Ahora Me Escuchan??? The cover art that Deleōn designed shows him on top of a giant ear listening to the reggaeton-heavy release.

Nearly eight years ago, Joel Pimentel, Erick Colón, Christopher Vélez, Zabdiel de Jesús, and Richard Camacho linked up as Cnco on La Banda, the Univision TV show co-produced by Ricky Martin and Simon Cowell with the intent of forming the next big group. And boy, did La Banda succeed with Cnco.
Since their formation in 2015, the group became virtually the only Latin reggaetón group to exist, bringing hits like “Reggaetón Lento” and “Hey DJ” worldwide, and collaborating with the likes of Little Mix, Meghan Trainor, Sean Paul, Steve Aoki, and...

The beloved boy band Cnco announced last year that they were planning to disband as a group, but famed producer Steve Aoki managed to pull the guys into a dreamy collaboration just before they go their separate ways. On the synth-driven track “Diferente,” Aoki highlights the best of Cnco’s smooth harmonies and vocalizations, creating a unique, upbeat track that shows a new side of the band.
Aoki explains he’d been after the collab for a while. “I have been wanting to work with the guys for a long...

After almost seven years together, Latin pop boy band Cnco revealed Thursday they’re officially splitting up, citing a desire to “expand” their careers. The announcement, which was made during Univision’s Premios Juventud award show, comes more than a year after former member Joel Pimentel left the band back in May 2021.
Christopher Velez, Erick Brian Colon, Richard Camacho, and Zabdiel de Jesus told Billboard that the decision to disband was made amicably. “We are feeling nervous but at the same time, we feel excited, anxious,” Colon said. “We’re ready to try new things,...

The members of Latin boy band Cnco are making their acting debut in the Disney+ miniseries 4 Ever, which recently began production in Miami. The series is set to air later this year in Latin America, with other Disney+ markets to follow.
In 4 Ever, young musicians Andy (Christopher Vélez), Ian (Richard Camacho), Ciro (Zabdiel De Jesús), and Darío (Erick Brian Colón) meet by chance at a restaurant, where they get involved in an unexpected situation: A valuable guitar has just disappeared. To recover the guitar and return it to its owner, they must put together a band.
Their mission is challenging because each musician is different. Andy is described as a demanding perfectionist, Darío is sensitive and romantic, and Ciro is distant and aloof. But it’s their passion for music that bonds as they embark on a journey that involves the promise of success.
Rounding out the cast are Carlos Ponce,...

Last month, Richard Camacho, Christopher Vélez, Erick Brian Colón, and Zabdiel De Jesús — the four remaining members of Cnco — shared “Toa La Noche,” their first single since Joel Pimentel left the group in May. They’re back with a video for the track, which follows them after they accidentally drink a mystery potion that leads to a psychedelic party under the moon.
The vibe of the video is similar to the trippy, moon-lit set that they used when they debuted the single at Univision’s Premios Juventud on July 23rd.

Cnco is feeling nostalgic. The boy band comprising Joel Pimentel, Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colón, Christopher Vélez, and Zabdiel De Jesús released their third studio album, Déjà Vu, on Feb. 5. And like the title suggests, the LP finds them reinterpreting Latin pop classics like "Hero," "Tan Enamorados," Entra en Mi Vida" and more as only they can. "The inspiration for this project came during the pandemic," Joel told E! News. "We had so much free time that I think almost everyone, actually, started listening to the classic old songs—at least, we did—and we just had the crazy idea of bringing back these songs and giving them a new...

During the past five years, Cnco has been steadily carving out their own lane in the boy band space. The group — comprised of Joel Pimentel, Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colón, Christopher Vélez, and Zabdiel De Jesús — stood out from the One Directions of the world with an all-Latino lineup.
Formed on Spanish-language singing competition, La Banda, the five-piece has gone on to have their first two LPs — 2016’s Primera Cita and 2018’s Cnco — rise to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart and have taken home three Billboard Latin Music Awards.

In their new music video “Mamita,” which has garnered over 11 million views on YouTube, Latin boy band Cnco pay tribute to their loyal fans. The video shows a group of raving fans welcoming the jet-setting pop stars at an airport. The five evade the paparazzi and ditch their own limo driver to jump into a van driven by female fans. In the vehicle, they serenade their groupies and lavish them with kisses, caresses and red roses.
