Los Super Reyes is a band created by Cruz Martínez after him and Abraham Quintanilla III had arguments over Martinez selling the group they were both in at the time, Los Kumbia Kings. Quintanilla left the group, which he had created, along with other members and created Kumbia All Starz. Martinez kept Los kumbia Kings but changed the name to Los Super Reyes.

[edit] Kumbia Kings

The Kumbia Kings were a Latin Grammy-winning group from Texas. Their music encompasses the styles of Cumbia (hence their name), Hip-Hop and R&B. They produce songs in both Spanish and English. The band's producers from the beginning have been Oscar Reyes, III (AB), and Cruz Martínez. A.B. Quintanilla is also known as the brother of the late "queen of tejano music", Selena. He played bass guitar for the group, while Compi 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 in Corpus Christi, TX over 8 years ago, A.B. and Tony were always the soul of the group. Gone are original members Frankie J and DJ Kane both who have gone on to significant success as solo artists, as well as the group Kingz1 (K1), a collaboration of former Kumbia Kings members who have defected from the group for reason of "internal dissention". Unfortunately, AB, singer Irvin "PeeWee Gonzales" Salinas, as well as Selena's husband Chris Pérez, (who has now remarried) also decided to leave the group due to that same "internal dissention".
