The Quintanilla family was naturally devastated after Selena’s death; except for some co-writing credits, A.B. withdrew from music for the next 4 years. In 1999, he reappeared with his own group, A.B. Quintanilla y Los Kumbia Kings.
Unlike Selena y Los Dinos, Los Kumbia Kings was a large band and no one member was the ’star’ performer. In fact, the major figure was A.B. himself. While he played bass and sang background vocals in the group, he did start promoting himself with the ‘A.B. Quintanilla’ label before many of the album names.
The King’s first album, Amor, Familia y Respeto was both a popular and critical success. It sold over 1/2 million copies and was nominated for a Grammy, Latin Grammy and Billboard Latin Music Awards. Their second album Sshhh! was released in 2001 and quickly hit #1 on the charts.
Concerns and accusations about money seemed to foment in the group from it’s inception. In 2002/2003, band members starting leaving the group amidst claims that they were underpayed (or not being paid). Members who were asked to leave the group included Baby Drew, both Ramirez brothers and Frankie Aranda, who started their own band, Kingz One (K1).
But the critical loss was that of lead vocalists, DJ Kane and Frankie J, who both went on develop their own individual careers.
At the end of 2003, A.B. brought on replacements for the old band members. Chris Perez (Selena’s husband) and Abel Talamantez (from Menudo) came on board. But the big surprise was the new lead vocalist, 15 year old Pee Wee Gonzalez (Irvin Salinas), who became an instant teenage heartthrob with the release of 2004’s Fuego.
