La Banda (English: The Band) is a Latin American singing competition series created by Simon Cowell and produced by Ricky Martin. It is presented by Alejandra Espinoza and premiered on September 13, 2015. The judges in Season 1 were Ricky Martin, Laura Pausini, and Alejandro Sanz. The goal of the series is to look for talented young teens to make the next musical phenomenon. The show has been renewed for season 2, in the search for the next Latin boy and girl band. The judges in Season 2 are Wisin, Laura Pausini and Mario Domm. Season 2 premiered on September 11, 2016 and concluded on December 11, 2016. The second season ended with a band mixed of three boys and two girls; composed of Brian Cruz (16), (Cuba), Taishmara Rivera (15), (Puerto Rico), Christian Castro (22), (Puerto Rico), Danelly Hoyer (21), (Mexico), and Garmandy Candelario (21), (Dominican Republic). The band is called Mix5.
Season 1 premiered on September 13, 2015 and ended on December 13, 2015. The new band entitled CNCO is composed of (current ages): Christopher Velez (20), (Ecuador), Richard Camacho (19), (Dominican Republic), Joel Pimentel (17), (Mexico), Erick Brian Colon (16), (Cuba), and Zabdiel de Jesús (18), (Puerto Rico).
The young men listed below were voted through to the competition by at least two of the three star judges of the show. Their ages at the time of their televised audition and their Latin American countries of ethnic or national origin are also displayed.
The top 41 participants showed who passed the audition but failed to continue towards the second phase of the competition. The judges decided to form four five-member boy bands to perform during this phase. The fifth five-member boy band was to be made up of five of the participants left behind. After performing, the judges sent all but five boys home. The top 20 shows the participants who moved on to the third round but failed to continue on after that.
