Their 2006 album debut From KK to Kumbia All-Starz reached number one on Billboard's Latin Pop Albums chart, number one on the Top Latin Albums chart, and number sixty-eight on the Billboard 2001. The album spawned two charting singles, "Chiquilla" (which reached number seven on Hot Latin Tracks, number nine on Latin Regional Mexican Airplay, number twenty-six on Latin Pop Airplay and number thirty-one on Latin Tropical Airplay) and "Parece Que Va A Llover" (which reached number thirty-three on Latin Regional Mexican Airplay).
Many members of Kumbia All Starz and Los Super Reyes were formerly together as Kumbia Kings, which had lots of success but unfortunately, this was bittersweet for the group amidst the controversy and love/hate relationship between the co-founders of Kumbia Kings, A.B. Quintanilla and Cruz Martínez, as well as the other members and ex-members of the group.
A.B. Quintanilla left the group and early in the summer of 2006 formed Kumbia All Starz.
Gracias

Tantas caras miraba ninguna que me amara,se me olvido olvidar sin querer recordar
Y yo me preguntaba si yo podria escapar,para ya no sufrir jamas
Y por mucho que intentaba no lo podria lograr,pense que no podria mas
De noches la pasaba hablandole a mi almuada,
Es tan lento el amor sufriendo de dolor
A veces pretendria que ya no me dolia
Yo estaba convencida no habia nada mejor,
Se habia dormido el corazón
Y me di por vencida no quize saber de amor,p
Ero el amor nos descubrio
Junto ati sano mi corazon
Te quiero Te quiero
Junto ati sano mi corazón
Por que tu trajiste ami tu nuevo amor
Gracias ati vuelvo a vivir gracias a ti he nacido de nuevo
Gracias por que lo que me das me quema a fuego lento
Gracias a ti vuelvo a sentir
Gracias a ti me da fuerzas tu aliento
Gracias por que lo que me das me quema fuego lento
In the lyrics of Kumbia All Starz's song Gracias, the singer is expressing their feeling of loneliness and despair in their search for love. The first few lines hint at the singer's long and fruitless search for love, as they could never find what they were looking for, and only found themselves in the same lonely place over and over again. Despite encountering many people, the singer could never find someone who loved them, making them forget how to forget and remember their past experiences.
The singer then wonders if they could escape this suffering and stop feeling pain. However, despite their best efforts, they could not escape the pain of love, and they began to lose hope. They spent many nights talking to their pillow and experiencing the slow and painful agony of love, making them want to pretend that they did not feel any pain. But, they soon realized that their assumption that nothing could be better was wrong when they fell in love again. This new love healed their heart and made them feel alive again, and they express their gratitude to their lover, thanking them for bringing new love into their life.
Overall, the song Gracias is all about the transformative and healing power of love and how it can change a person's life.
