Quintanilla in 1999. Their music encompasses the styles of cumbia (hence their name), Hip-Hop and RnB. They produce songs in both Spanish and English. The band's producers from the beginning have been A.B. Quintanilla III and Cruz Martínez. A.B. Quintanilla is also known as the brother of the late "Queen of Tejano Music", Selena.

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.

"Oh No"

El tiempo pasa
Y ya no puedo olvidarte

Oh no, no me vuelvo a enamorar
Oh no

Quiero saber si piensas en mi
Si eres feliz, si me extranas como yo a ti
Estoy aqui, muriendome en esta tarde
Sin saber de ti

Por que teniamos que partir
Como puedo seguir sin ti
Mi corazon no va latir
Por que tu no estas aqui

Oh no, no me vuelvo a enamorar
Lo tengo que aceptar
Que nada sera igual, sin ti
No me vuelvo a enamorar, oh no

Como empesar de nuevo
Si nadie recuperara
Como cnatullo (?) la cara

Por que teniamos que partir
Como pudo seguir sin ti
Mi corazon no va a latir
Por que tu no estas aqui

Oh no, no me vuelvo a enamorar
Lo tengo que aceptar

Que nada sera igual sin ti
No me vuelvo a enamorar, oh no.

The final chorus is a declaration that the singer will not allow themselves to fall in love again, now that they know the intense pain it can bring.

Overall, "Oh No" is a song that captures the raw emotion of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a lost love.
