Wilson Ramón Torres Zapata "Rawy Torres" is a Puerto Rican singer, composer, and guitarist, who was a member of the boy band, Menudo.

Biography

Torres joined Menudo in 1989, replacing Ricky Martin. Torres gained teen idol status in Latin America when Menudo released the Los Últimos Héroes CD. Torres also recorded a Portuguese version for his first album called Os Últimos Heróis.

Torres and bandmate Robert Avellanet both left Menudo in 1991, and almost immediately joined Euphoria, that had some success but broke up.

In 1999, Rawy went to Los Angeles, California where he produced and recorded his first solo album called Por si de amor se trata.

Torres then started a bachelor's degree in Business that was completed with honors in 2004 with a major in marketing.

Rawy Torres joined some of his former bandmates in a reunion group that was inspired by the success of El Reencuentro, another group that was composed by six former Menudos from the early 1980s. Torres and his fellow former Menudo bandmates, including Avellanet, named their reunion group Los Últimos Héroes.
