#RBD CD REBELDE SERIES#

'But I always try to get the most quality for the product.'

So yes, Damian says in a telephone interview, it's all about the commerce. If their manager-creator-mastermind, Pedro Damian, and their record label, EMI Televisa, have anything to do with it, you will. It doesn't matter if you've never heard of them. It doesn't matter that the members of RBD neither write their own songs nor play instruments. Already, RBD has one Portuguese album on its résumé and plans for an English-language CD, a planned collaboration with Hilary Duff and another one with reggaeton mega-producers Luny Tunes, a movie, and a CD in English and Spanish for the Japanese market. They're a Spanish-language act with an eye on the multilingual market. Then multiply that by six - three girls and three guys - and you'll begin to get why RBD, with four CDs, is one of the hottest-selling acts in Latin music.

Think of Britney Spears and the power of prefab pop married to fresh-scrubbed sex appeal and really good hair products.

Think the Monkees, think Menudo, think the Backstreet Boys. To understand the phenomenon that is RBD - if you're not a fan, that is - you'll need to go back in time a little. 'Y soy rebelde.' ('And I'm a rebel.')īut that's not quite right. Hair is flung with calculated abandon, index and pinky fingers held aloft in the international rockers' salute. (Never miss an opportunity to cross-promote!) They're singing about teen angst: young love, broken love and parents who just don't understand. Onstage Maite, Alfonso, Christopher, Anahi and Dulce are singing the RBD anthem 'Rebelde,' which very conveniently happens to be the name of their hugely popular telenovela. debut in March, the thing that has sold 7.8 million albums in the United States alone, the thing that is now filling the aisles of the Patriot Center with flipped-out fans shrieking lyrics, eyes glazing over, hands outstretched. It's the thing that packed 63,000 fans into the Los Angeles Coliseum for RBD's U.S. Confetti is turbo-pumped into the crowd, smoke blasts onto the stage and five of the six members of RBD (one missed the flight from Madrid) commence doing their thing. The song was later covered by Timbiriche, one of whose members was Julissa's son Benny Ibarra, on their 1983 album En Concierto.It's just before 9 Friday night, as the curtain comes up and the Mexican flag comes plummeting down. One of these was Baile Del Sapo, a spanish language version of The Time Warp translated by Julissa for her 1976 production of El Show De Terror De Rocky. Two medleys of cover songs were performed, with the first medley featuring four songs recorded by pop group Timbiriche. In July 2005 the Tour Generación RBD En Vivo CD and DVD were released, documenting one of their sold out live performances in 1995 at the Palacio de los Deportes (seating 23,000 people) in Mexico City. They released their first album ('Rebelde') in November 2004 to great success, hitting number two on the Latin Albums charts and spending over two months in the Top 5.

#RBD CD REBELDE SERIES#

In the television series a group of high school students form a pop band, which also happens to be a pop band in real life as well (shades of Miley Cyrus!). RBD were simultaneously a Mexican pop group and a telenovela (' Rebelde', 2004-2006).
