Magneto

Mexican teen pop group Magneto emerged in 1983. Their first record, Dejalo Que Gire, arrived in 1984, followed by Super 6 Magneto. The Latin pop outfit experienced several lineup changes before achieving its first gold record in 1986. Mostly playing dance-pop songs, the five-member ensemble started touring Central America after climbing the charts with "Todo Esta Muy Bien" and "Soy Un Soñador." However, their breakthrough came after issuing a Spanish-language version of Desireless' "Voyage Voyage," a French pop hit from the '80s. In 1992 the boy band played the lead in its own movie, Cambiando el Destino. Nevertheless, the original Magneto disbanded in 1996 after a sold-out show at Mexico City's Auditorio Nacional. ~ Drago Bonacich
