A.B. Quintanilla & The Kumbia King All Starz
Without older brother Abraham, the Selena catalog would be a few cuts short of a greatest hits CD. In addition to his slightly corny and totally awesome production talent, A.B. is responsible for penning “Como La Flor,” “Amor Prohibido” and “No Me Queda Más.” After the loss of his sister, Quintanilla doubled down on the rhythm that made his family a household name, founding Los Kumbia Kings and Kumbia All Starz. As the frontman of his current nonet, Quintanilla trades out the family-friendly image of Los Dinos for leather and ink. Naturally, his irresistible rhythmic sense hangs tough.
