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.
Sshh!
Kumbia Kings Lyrics

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
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.
(hay, hay)

The lyrics to Kumbia Kings’ song “Sshh!” describe a strained relationship in which one partner constantly berates and criticizes the other in public. The singer muses that their partner might drive them insane with their shouting fits and impossible demands. The partner seems to believe that the singer’s friends are rejecting them and that the singer doesn’t care about their needs. The singer feels helpless, unsure of what to do in this situation, and wonders if their relationship is just a punishment for something they did wrong.
However, the song takes on a humorous tone with the repeated “Shh!”s, as if the singer is trying to quiet the other person’s constant yelling. The final refrain features voices pleading for the other to be quiet and leave them alone. Overall, the song seems to be a playful take on a common relationship dynamic, in which one person’s difficult behavior drives the other to distraction.
