..
It’s a title that everyone can understand – one simple word that tells us what A.B. Quintanilla III & Kumbia Kings are bringing on this album – FUEGO. The fire of this EMI LATIN release spreads to retail on October 5.
..
The first single from FUEGO is the title track – an irresistible call to the dance floor that features intense vallenato accordion, funky guitar, and beats that will get everything shaking within a two-block radius.
..
To get the FUEGO started across the Americas, A.B. QUINTANILLA III & KUMBIA KINGS will soon be kicking off their tour, hitting over 20 cities in the U.S., Mexico and Puerto Rico.
..
Produced by A.B. QUINTANILLA III and CRUZ MARTINEZ, FUEGO is the result of a great deal of hard work, creative inspiration, and cutting-edge savvy.
..
FUEGO is an album that continues the group’s internationalization – since 1998, Kumbia Kings have been one of the most exciting and popular groups on the regional Mexican scene with their fusion of cumbia, hip-hop, reggae and other rhythms. In the last two years, thanks to its remix albums and collaborations with artists such as Aleks Syntek and Juan Gabriel, the group has made itself known in the Latin pop world and on the club scene.
..
Showing an unprecedented musical maturity, the group has incorporated a broad variety of influences and slamming beats. The 11 songs of FUEGO comprise a complete album – it’s not one of those records that only goes one or two hits deep. FUEGO is a lot of fun and is meant to bring together romantics and dancers, and people of all races.
..
A.B. QUINTANILLA III and CRUZ MARTINEZ maintain their roles as leaders of the group, as they have since its inception. Meanwhile, other elements of the lineup have been retooled – the 2004 incarnation of KUMBIA KINGS includes Abel, Nando, Pangie and Peewee on vocals and Nino B rapping and dancing.
..
The new members represent the best young talent that Latin music has to offer, and audiences who’ve seen them in action are thrilled about the new look.
..
Here’s a preview of FUEGO…
..
Producers A.B. QUINTANILLA III and CRUZ MARTINEZ once again prove that their musical tastes run the gamut, and that there’s no way they can be pigeonholed. They’ve recorded a pair of interesting covers – “Y Ella Sabe,” a seductive remake of Steely Dan’s 1972 smash “Do It Again.” They’ve also revived a tongue-in-cheek classic, “Pass the Dutchie,” the 1983 hit by Musical Youth whose lyrics will surely cause knowing smiles among those who enjoyed Kumbia Kings’ 2002 version of “La Cucaracha.” “Pass the Dutchie” is one of two cuts in English, along with the R&B track “If You Leave.”
..
NOEL SCHAJRIS, of the soulful duo Sin Bandera, wrote “Parte de mi Corazón,” and he duets with the group on the song’s ballad and cumbia versions. A.B. QUINTANILLA III’s production talent makes both versions stand on their own.
..
The lovely 15-year-old Spanish-Mexican singer-actress BELINDA adds a socially conscious contribution to FUEGO, dulcetly harmonizing with the Kings’ Peewee González on the acoustic-framed “QUIEN,” which deals with the plight of street children.
..
KUMBIA KINGS smoke out the haters on the techno-cumbia “Bla, Bla, Bla,” featuring MC JAPON. He’s the leader of LA PURA NETA, a new group produced by A.B. that we’ll be hearing more from shortly.
..
Other cuts from FUEGO include “Viento,” “Ay Amor,” “Perdóname” and “Na, Na, Na (Dulce Niña).”
..
A.B. QUINTANILLA III, THE TOP ‘KING
..
A.B. QUINTANILLA III founded Kumbia Kings in 1999; taking them to unprecedented heights of success in the Latin music world. They’ve sold millions of albums and won awards and nominations from the American Music Awards, Latin Grammys, Tejano Music Awards, Univision’s Premio Lo Nuestro and Billboard Latin Music Awards, among others.
..
The group’s visionary outlook springs from the creative force of A.B. QUINTANILLA III. He’s the only producer, composer and musician who’s in demand in genres as diverse as regional Mexican, Latin pop, tropical, and Tejano. His influences, meanwhile, range from R&B, pop, hip-hop, reggae and rock to rap, techno-funk, acid, and house.
..
A.B. QUINTANILLA III, the oldest child of Marcela and Abraham Quintanilla II, was born in Toppenish, Washington. A few years later, the Quintanilla family moved to Lake Jackson, Texas, where his sisters Suzette and Selena were born.
..
When the family moved again, to Corpus Christi, the kids’ lives took a 180-degree turn – they were surrounded by Hispanic culture for the first time. It was a culture shock, but a positive one. A.B. quickly absorbed the influences and in 1984 became musical director of the Tejano group Selena y Los Dinos.
..
By 1990, Selena y Los Dinos had signed with EMI LATIN and were becoming known as one of Tejano’s most exciting young groups. The dues-paying was finally bearing fruit. A.B. was producing and co-writing songs that were becoming legendary in the voice of the immortal Selena. Among them were sweet, quirky gems like “La Carcacha” and “El Chico del Apartamento 512” whose beats got audiences dancing and whose lyrics painted perceptive vignettes of daily life.
..
In 1994, A.B. QUINTANILLA III won a Grammy as producer of SELENA LIVE. He also won the first of what would be many awards from the songwriters’ organization BMI.
..
On March 31, 1995, grief struck the Quintanilla family and the entire music world, when Selena’s life was tragically cut short at age 23. Her death made a mark on her brother A.B.’s musical personality, and left a permanent scar on his soul. It would be more than a year before he could think about making music again.
..
But he’d promised Selena that he’d keep going, no matter what, and he gradually recovered the strength and inspiration needed to return to his calling. In 1997, A.B. QUINTANILLA III worked with the Mexican pop princess Thalía, producing her hit “Amándote.” Soon after, he was back in the game, working with a diverse group of Latin music stars, including Verónica Castro, Cristian Castro, Olga Tañón, Paulina Rubio and Ricky Martin.
..
In 1999, A.B. QUINTANILLA III made his long-awaited return to live performing as producer, songwriter, musical director and bass player of Kumbia Kings. Initially an eight-member band, the group debuted with Amor, Familia y Respeto, which featured such guest artists as Sheila E, tropical-cumbia sax man Fito Olivares, Nu Flavor, the Puerto Rican rapper Vico-C, and the funkmeister Roger Troutman, in one of his last performances before his untimely death on April 25, 1999.
..
Featuring such hits as “Azucar” and “Fuiste Mala,” Amor, Familia y Respeto has gone on to sell over ONE MILLION UNITS in Mexico and the United States.
..
In February 2001, Kumbia Kings returned with Shhh!, which remained on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart for nearly 100 consecutive weeks and produced hits “Boom Boom” and the title track.
..
The group released its first remix album, All Mixed Up: Los Remixes, in October 2002. It featured “La Cucaracha” and sold over 200,000 units.
..
Featuring cuts in Spanish and in English, Kumbia Kings’ groundbreaking studio album 4, released in March 2003, was critically hailed and expanded the group’s prestige internationally with hits like “No Tengo Dinero” and “Insomnio.”
..
Truly a step forward, 4 fused styles such as pop, reggae, hip-hop and vallenato, and featured great guest artists representing the spectrum of Latin music – talents such as Juan Gabriel, Aleks Syntek, El Gran Silencio and Ozomatli.
..
4 earned A.B. QUINTANILLA III & KUMBIA KINGS the following nominations:
..
* 2004 Premios De La Gente – Artist of the Year, Overall

..
The group released a career retrospective, La Historia, in October 2003. The album debuted at No. 1 on the SoundScan sales chart for the week ending November 1, 2003, making it the week’s best-selling Latin album in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
..
DJs and clubbers received another treat in April 2004 with the release of Los Remixes 2.0. This album provided a preview of the group’s international style and new lineup, with the addition of vocalists Peewee González, Frank Pangelinan, Jacob Ceniceros and Abel Talamantez.
..
The album’s promotional single, a cover of Menudo’s “SABES A CHOCOLATE,” has been nominated in the PREMIOS JUVENTUD (Youth Awards) 2004 in the “CANCION ROMPEHIELO” (Icebreaking Song) category.
Shhh!
A.B. Quintanilla III Presents Kumbia Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shhh, I got a secret
Shhh, come closer
(Come here bitch)
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Like a pimp on your ass
I hope I offended your ass
Hoe playin pretend with your ass
Burst your bubble like a pimple, my bad
Chicken little, throw em out the window like a demo
Camo black on black, I keep it simple
That No Genre on me, only symbol
Distracting the shit out your ass
Terms and conditions your ass
Better remember me right
If I disappear Copperfield on your ass
Now run like the pigs on your ass
And they got evidence to pin on your ass
30 years on your ass
I don't even remember your ass
Barking up the wrong tree
Beating around the wrong bush
Reading off the wrong page
Reading out the wrong book
It ain't a big deal to your ass
If it don't make no sense to your ass
I say I'm all about peace
But I'll still smack the shit out your ass
Shhh, I got a secret
Shhh, I got a secret
Shhh, come closer
(Come here bitch)
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Like a pimp, like a, like a pimp
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Hold on to your horses
Stay looking for an O-Z like I'm Dorothy
These niggas ain't as hard as they record us
You just a gangster on Pro Tools
You faker than O'doul's
Can't nobody here extort me
We, we ain't dating, we recordin
Pimping stiff as rigamortis
Probably from counting bands and drinking 40's
Shhh, I got a secret
Shhh, I got a secret
Shhh, come closer
(Come here bitch)
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
Like a pimp, like a, like a pimp
Smack some sense in your ass
Smack some sense in your ass
The lyrics of "Shhh" by A.B. Quintanilla & los Kumbia Kings are definitely not for the faint of heart. The song talks about a secret that the singer wants to keep and asking the listener to come closer. The use of profanity in "come here bitch" and "smack some sense in your ass" shows the aggressiveness of the song. The lyrics also refer to pimping, and the singer wants to smack some sense into someone's ass like a pimp. The use of the phrase "burst your bubble like a pimple" shows how the singer wants to pop someone's illusions and reveal the truth.
The second half of the song has lines like "Hold on to your horses" and "You just a gangster on Pro Tools" where the singer tries to show that the other person is not what they seem to be. The lyrics also seem to suggest how the singer is not someone to be messed with, and if someone does try to mess with them, they will regret it. The song's aggressiveness and profanity may be too much for some, but it's a song that shows that the singer is not someone to mess with.

Kumbia Kings
Esta es la cancion dedicada para todos los bombones
A veces pienso que tu vas enloquecerme
Cuando comienzas a gritar frente a la gente
Si no te cumplo tus caprichos dios me libre
Quien te aguanta, quien te entiende quien te calla
Por favor, por favor, por favor, por favor
No te gusto la fiesta por que mis amigos
Ya te conocen y no van estar contigo lo que no saben
Que despues del primer trago quien te aguanta,
Quien te entiende, quien te calla quien me salva
Por favor, por favor, por favor, por favor
Yo no se, que lo que tengo que hacer, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Por que tu entiendes todo al reves, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Yo no se, que lo que tengo que hacer, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Por que yo no puedo seguir contigo.
Pienso que esto es como un castigo
Tu hablas sin para y sin tener ningun sentido
Yo no se lo que voy hacer contigo
Sea lo que sea te lo tienes merecido
A mi familia te la pasas criticando
Por que hace mucho que no van a visitarnos
Lo que no sabes es que ellos ya no vienen
Por que todo lo que haces es hablar, hablar y hablar
Sin to niso, sin to niso, sin to niso, sin to niso
A veces pienso que tu vas enloquecerme
Cuando comienzas a gritar frente a la gente
Si no te cumplo tus caprichos dios me libre
Quien te aguanta, quien te entiende quien te calla quien me salva
Por favor, por favor, por favor, por favor
Yo no se, que lo que tengo que hacer, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Por que tu entiendes todo al reves, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Yo no se, que lo que tengo que hacer, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Por que yo no puedo seguir contigo.
Juan me dice que no tiene solucion
Luis me dice que te dejo por favor
Me dice que eres una maldicion
Yo no se, que lo que tengo que hacer, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Por que tu entiendes todo al reves, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Yo no se, que lo que tengo que hacer, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Por que yo no puedo seguir contigo.
(Ahi ya yai, ya callate por favor
No me molestes mas!!!!)
Yo no se, que lo que tengo que hacer, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Por que tu entiendes todo al reves, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Yo no se, que lo que tengo que hacer, Shh!, Shh!, Shh!
Por que yo no puedo seguir contigo.
SHH!
