Celebrate 5 de Mayo with A.B Quintanilla and the Kumbia Kings at Soaring Eagle Casino

CELEBRATE 5 DE MAYO WITH A.B. QUINTANILLA & THE KUMBIA KINGS

by: Matthew Stein

If you are into the Latino pop music scene, then you definitely will know whom A.B. Quintanilla & The Kumbia Kings are. This very talented group hails from Corpus Christi, Texas and produce music in both Spanish and English. Their style has the Cumbia feel while the singing is a blend of pop and R&B/hip-hop.

They have had chart-topping hits in the early and mid 2000s and their success has only continued to grow. This includes winning in the 2006 Latin Grammy’s for Best Tropical Regional Mexican Album, selling a stunning amount of records, and touring.

They have toured in Latin America, namely Mexico. However, they have performed within the United States in cities where there are large Latino communities.

Some of their songs include: “Boom Boom”, “Fuego”, “Sshh!!”, “Baila Esta Cumbia”, “Te Quiero a Ti”, and of course the very popular and most well known song of the group – “Chiquilla”.

The lead singer is named Abraham Isaac Quintanilla III, however you mainly know him as A.B. Quintanilla. He is also known as Selena’s (yes that one) older brother. He in fact helped her vastly with her music career as a producer and co-writer.

The rest of A.B. Quintanilla’s band has had various members come and go throughout their history with some starting their own groups and some going solo. However, he has prevailed with a hard working lineup and still continues to make music and to perform.

To celebrate Cinco de Mayo this year, A.B. Quintanilla & The Kumbia Kings will be performing on Saturday, May 7th in Michigan. The event will take place at Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan at the Entertainment Hall at 8 PM. Tickets are $25.00 or $50.00 for a table. Other bands that will be performing are WAR and Mas Tequila.

What better way to celebrate Cinco than a night full of great music, dancing, and drinks with A.B. Quintanilla & The Kumbia Kings?
