Kumbia Kings evolves into Kumbia All-Starz


Mexico, August 10, 2006 (Notimex).- With the intention of evolving and giving their audience better music and shows, fronted by Pee Wee, musician and producer A.B. Quintanilla III announced the band Kumbia Kings will continue in the music scene under the new name of Kumbia All-Starz.

They will release next September a new album which will also be supervised and directed by A.B., who will take a temporary break from the band to fully dedicate himself to this new stage of the band, a press release informed.

Although much detail of this new album has not been given yet, the first single is known to be called "Chiquilla", written by A.B. Quintanilla and Luigi Giraldo, composers of the hit song "Dulce Niña (na na na)" sung by Pee Wee, who will now become the lead vocalist of the band.

"The public and the media have given me great satisfaction and unconditional support with all my projects. I hope they embrace this new Kumbia with the same love and enthusiasm," A.B. Quintanilla expressed through a press release.

Kumbia Kings, a band created nine years ago and which has been a launch pad for several solo singers, songwriters and musicians, is now called Kumbia All-Starz.

They didn't change their name, Cruz now has whatever is left of Kumbia Kings, A.B. was on the Cristina show the other night talking about it, here's a translation I found on SelenaChat.

Ok, i'll keep this as simple as possible.

It all started December of last year, after AB's birth day. He had called Cruz (who lives in Monterrerey) and asked him to transfer money to his account. Cruz was in charge to collecting money from all their presentations etc, while in Mexico, then he would distribute the money. Cruz said "Yeah sure" a couple of months went by, the money never showed up. AB calls Cruz again, this time Cruz says that "Somebody stole the money, and they stole from me too." AB thought it was strange. So with the help of Abraham, they started investigating and get their lawyers also to investigate. It was in amount of a over a million dollars that had gone "missing."

During the investigation, a paper appeared. This paper, was a registry entry or whatever you call it. In it, it says that Cruz Martinez was the 100% owner of the Kumbia Kings in mexico. THIS HAPPENED IN 2004!

AB said that at first after learning about this, he wanted to disolve the Kumbia Kings, BUT, he knew that the members of the group needed the imcome to support their families, so he decided to "sacrifice" himself and leave the group.

Chris after learning about the situation decided to leave the group. So did a keyboard player of Kumbia Kings.

Pee-wee, never left the group. Cruz ensentially replaced him without Pee-wee knowing. Pee-wee was in texas, recording the vocals for what was supposed to be the next Kumbia Kings album. The other members of the Kumbia Kings went to Florida, they were going to perform on the PREMIOUS JUVENTUD. When they started getting emails from fans and on the boards saying that Pee-wee had been replaced.

AB said that when Pee-wee found out, he started to cry. That's when AB decided to form a group.

Dispite popular believe, Cruz was never the co-owner of the Kumbia Kings. AB said that he is the 100% owner of the group. Cruz, helped him out with the booking, and other business decisions etc. Cruz never owned 50% of the Kumbia kings. Cruz was paid a "Management Fee" which is what managers get paid. Any where from 10 to 20% percent of the total earnings.

AB also said that after the scandal broke out, Cruz showed up at this house. Cruz basically said that "I don't want to fight with you, i am willing to give the the Kumbia Kings name" to which Christina said "How can he offer to give you something that never belonged to him in the first place?"

What Cruz said, according to Ab was, for them to go to Monterrey, and with their lawyers, Cruz would give him "Back" the name of hte "Kumbia Kings" if he agreed (A not to fire Cruz from the group. Off course, AB was beside himself. It was never his intention to fire Cruz, but he felt insulted. So, he said no.

He talked about a lawsuit against him in Mexico. AB had a rule, that after concerts, niether of the doors of the vans or cars should be opened while they were inside. Because after concerts, usually there's crowds of fans surrounding the vehicles.

Well, at a concert in Monterrey, Abel did just that. He opened the door of the band, while the van was speeding off, and as a result a teenage fan got run over by the van. BUT, AB is the one being sued. Just one problem, AB had already left the band when that happened. AB looked at the camera and said "Listen if the family is watching, Cruz is the owner of the Kumbia Kings in Mexico, he is hte one you should be suing not me."

Ok, now unto Alicia Villareal. I am going to have some fun here. For months i've been saying that Alicia Villareal had something to do, with this situation, i've even gone as far as to calling her the Yoko Ono of the grupero world. A number of you have jumped up my #### saying "Oh she didn't have nothing to do with it, you are this, and this and this" Well, i have something to say to you, "YOU CAN ALL SUCK IT!"

Christina asked him if Alicia had something to do with Cruz's behavior and the situation with the "Kumbia Kings" and AB said "100%"

AB went on to say, that when Alicia Villareal came into the picture it all changed. Cruz wouldn't travel with the Kumbia Kings, he had to had his seperate bus, because Alicia wanted to be go with him. Cruz had to have his own dressing room, and began demanding "Special Treatment" just becasue his girlfriend at the time "Alicia Villareal" was there.

He also answered, to the comments Alicia Villareal made to a magazine, calling him unstable, and having emotional problems,and about his 3 divorces.

Ab said, Yeah, i have emotional problems, I lost my sister, my whole world came crashing down. My family was never the same. My mother and my father and constanly thinking about the tragedy.

And yeah, i've been divorced 3 times, but let me remind her that she has also a couple of divorces under her belt so, we are even.

I was like "YES!!!!!!!!!!!"

He also said he wanted to have another daughter, so there could be another Selena Quintanilla in the family. His dream is to have a daugther so he can name her Selena Flor Quintanilla.

This is the same ol' recycled "cumbia" stuff AB had been doing with Kumbia Kings for years. His songs with Kumbia Kings were at least catchy, this just sucks!
