Ferré Performing Arts Center in San Juan.

That was the discipline of Menudo: You either did things the way you were told or you were not part of the group.” The song “Asignatura Pendiente” from Almas del Silencio (2003) was inspired by the first time Martin left Puerto Rico to tour with Menudo.

In 1995, Martin refocused on his music career, and began work on his third album, A Medio Vivir. The first single, the ballad “Te Extraño, Te Olvido, Te Amo”, written by the producer of Lynda Thomas, Carlos Lara, was reminiscent of his earlier work. With the song, Martin furthered his expansion from Latin American and Spanish-speaking audiences to the European and Asian markets. However, the record also made a shift from his traditional ballad-style compositions to a more risky fusion of music centered around traditional Latin sounds, epitomized by the song “Maria”. Taken aback by the starkly different musical style, record label executives felt that the song would ruin Martin’s career. Despite this, “Maria” was chosen as the album’s second single, and became a breakthrough hit, reaching number one in France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Finland, Italy, Turkey, and the entire continent of South America. With A Medio Vivir, Martin was credited, along with singers Chayanne and Marc Anthony, for popularizing the music of Puerto Rico in Spain. The album has sold over 3 million copies worldwide.
