Laura is the second studio album by the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, released in 1978 by the record label Padosa.[1] The group at the time included the Sallaberry brothers, Fernando and Nefty, and the Meléndez brothers, Óscar, Carlos, and Ricky.[2][3] This was the last album to feature Nefty as a member; in 1979, he left the group upon reaching the age limit of 15 and was replaced by René Farrait.[2]

The album managed to chart with two songs on the music charts, the songs "I Cucubano" and "Gongoli" made it onto the Dominican Republic singles sales charts, reaching positions 2 and 6, respectively.[4][5]
