Los Super Reyes are a
Cumbia music band created byCruz Martínez after he and A.B. Quintanilla had arguments over Martínez selling the group they were both in at the time, LosKumbia Kings . Quintanilla left the group, which he had created, along with other members and createdKumbia All Starz . Martínez kept Los Kumbia Kings but changed the name to Los Super Reyes.Kumbia Kings
The
Kumbia Kings were aLatin Grammy -winning group fromTexas . Their music encompasses the styles ofCumbia (hence their name),Hip-Hop andR&B . They produce songs in both Spanish and English. The band's producers from the beginning have been A.B. Quintanilla III andCruz Martínez . A.B. Quintanilla is also known as the brother of the late "queen oftejano music ",Selena . He playedbass guitar for the group, while Cruz played keyboards. Both co-wrote songs for the Kumbia Kings. Though the group has gone through a revolving door of members in recent years amid controversy and finger-pointing, and the Kumbia Kings of today are vastly different than what originated inCorpus Christi, TX over 8 years ago, A.B. and Cruz were always the soul of the group. Gone are original membersFrankie J andDJ Kane both who have gone on to significant success as solo artists, as well as the groupKingz1 (K1), a collaboration of former Kumbia Kings members who have defected from the group for reason of "internal dissention". Unfortunately,A.B. Quintanilla , singer Irvin "PeeWee" Salinas, as well as Selena's husbandChris Pérez , ( who has now remarried ) also decided to leave the group due to that same "internal dissention". Cruz Martinez continued to tour with "Los Kumbia Kings" until he decided to change the name of the group to "Los Super Reyes".Los Super Reyes after their huge success on the first debut album have continue to tour all Latin America and for the first time in KING history will be headed to Spain and Japan due to international hit " Muevelo " which has also cerftified the group for platinum and gold record sales between U.S. and Mexico. The group is again expected to release another very anticipated studio album early 2009.
