4 Ever is yet another story of a boy band and their beautiful journey in attaining fame, just like the shows 2gether, Base Boys, Boy Machine, To Be Continued and many others. The four young music enthusiasts, Ian, Ciro, Dario, and Andy, cross paths under certain circumstances and unite to form a band of their dreams. However, an issue arises when a member misplaces the very valuable guitar of a famous singer and gets into trouble for it. Despite a lot of differences, how the four boys stick together has been remarkably presented through the light-hearted musical drama. The miniseries, 4 Ever, directed by Nuno Gomes stars Christopher Velez, Zabdiel De Jeus, Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colon, and others. The Latin-American series is a must-watch on the list of Disney+ original shows. Will the band be able to resolve their issues and propel their careers in music? Let’s see!

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...

All good things must come to an end. During the 2022 Premios Juventud in Puerto Rico, Cnco confirmed they are breaking up as a group in order to focus on other projects—including solo music. "We always thought that if we split, it had to be natural, and that's how it happened," Zabdiel de Jesus told Billboard after the July 21 show. "We've lived many things together, and grew together in this industry, and we're ready to try new things to expand our careers." Erick Brian Colon added, "We are feeling nervous but at the same time, we feel excited." According to the group, the decision to split was amicable. And Christopher Velez assured fans that just because...

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,...

Talk about dream pairing! Boy band Cnco exclusively revealed during E! News' Daily Pop on Jan. 14 that they have new music on the way—and are ready to collaborate with some huge names. "We love the new sound. It's different," Zabdiel de Jesus teased of their latest single, "Party, Humo y Alcohol." Christopher Vélez added that the group has "a big list" of A-listers they hope to work with, including some Grammy nominees. Among those artists Cnco are eyeing? Olivia Rodrigo, as Richard Camacho pointed out. Meanwhile Erick Brian Colón's dream is to work with Daddy...

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.

Two months after Joel Pimentel’s departure, Cnco is back with “To’a La Noche,” the band’s first single with its four remaining members, Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colón, Christopher Vélez, and Zabdiel De Jesús. The guys debuted the song on Thursday night at Univision’s Premios Juventud, where they had nominations in three categories, including favorite duo or group of the year, album of the year, and best collaboration for their song “Honey Boo” with Natti Natasha.

While they didn’t bring any awards home, they hit the...

It's a new era for Cnco. On Sunday, May 9, the beloved boy band—which includes members Joel Pimentel, Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colón, Christopher Vélez and Zabdiel De Jesús—announced a surprising shake-up within the group. "We want to start by saying how much we truly love you and appreciate all of the support you give us day in and day out, year after year," Cnco shared in a statement with E! News. "For that reason, we're sad to tell you that after five and a half unforgettable and life-changing years together, Friday, May 14th will be Joel's last day as a member of Cnco." Sadly, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. The band...

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.

Cnco performed “Beso” at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, a new song they surprise-released on Thursday.

In what marks the boy band’s debut performance at the ceremony, the five-piece group performed at MTV’s drive-in concert setup in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, along the East River. Members Joel Pimental, Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colón, Christopher Vélez and Zabdiel De Jesús began their rendition of “Beso” amongst the cars, before working their way to the stage and unleashing their dance moves in front of the main platform. As they made...

In the years since the collapse of One Direction, there’s been a surge of boy bands all over the world — among them groups like Bts, PrettyMuch and Why Don’t We. Now with all-Latino group Cnco entering the fray, the Spanish-language music industry has an opportunity to show its mettle amid a new wave of pop superstars. Diverging from the fandom of predominantly white boy band lineups of the 1990s and 2000s, fans seem no longer content with the anglophone boy bands of yesteryear; which makes Cnco, whose members...
