A.B. Quintanilla Y Los Kumbia Kings was an influential American band known for its fusion of cumbia, pop, and R&B. Founded by musician and record producer A.B. Quintanilla III in 1999, the band played a pivotal role in popularizing the Tejano and cumbia music genres outside of their native Texas. Quintanilla, the older brother of the late singer Selena, brought a unique blend of musical styles to the band, which heavily influenced their signature sound. Their seminal album "Amor, Familia y Respeto" was a commercial success and has left a lasting impact on the Latin music scene.
