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, Texas over 10 years ago but A.B. and Cruz were always the soul of the group.
Unfortunately, A.B. Quintanilla, Irvin "PeeWee" Salinas, as well as Selena's widower Chris Pérez, also decided to leave the group due to "internal dissention" in 2006. Cruz Martínez kept Los Kumbia Kings but changed the name to Los Super Reyes for legal issues. In October 2009, A.B. Quintanilla and Cruz Martínez have solved their differences, and announced that the Kumbia Kings will reunite for a series of concerts lasting from late 2009 through early 2010.

por pensar en ti
el reloj es criminal
el tiempo marca y pasa
y yo aqui
Abraham Isaac Quintanilla un amigo de por vida
(ah,ah,ah) kumbia
ya son las tres de la mañana
y no me duermo
todo parece sofocarme
en este infierno
tantas imagenes que tengo de tu cuerpo
me quitan el sueño no puedo creerlo
mi cuerpo pide mas de ti y de tus secretos
es por mi instinto animal que va sin frenos
veo las horas que se van
y solo siento que voy a estallar
si es que yo no te tengo
CHORUS:
enciendeme, mi fuego
mis ansias
mis deseos
ya pierdeme el respeto
ven a mi
bebe de mi cuerpo
controlame por dentro
con toda la locura
que hay en ti (oh yeah)
y si no puedo dormir
hay que matar el insomnio
porque no vienes aqui
mata el insomnio
dame lo que quiero de ti
mata el insomnio
ven que no me dejas dormir
mata el insomnio
(ah, ah, ah) kumbia
y cuantas noches pasare aqui
sin verte y cuantas veces
despertar por no tenerte
y cuantas veces estaras sola para hacerse
sin que tu te interes que mi cuerpo quiere
mi cuerpo pide mas de ti y de tus secretos
es por mi instinto animal que va sin frenos
veo las horas que se van y solo siento
que voy a estallar si es que yo no te tengo
(chorus)
