Can you believe these peeps said this?!? Well, you better, cuz theres's proof. Read on my friend, read on!
"We started from scratch," (AB) explains. "We came in with a concept of what sound the band wants to have. There will never be another Selena y los Dinos, but I would describe it as what I would have done with Selena in the future which is...a combination of formulas that were functioning well for her, the rhythm and blues stuff, cumbias with a little pop, a little dance flavor and a little R&B into the cumbia. The instrumental mix is basically keyboards, all synthetic sound with drum machines, with some live percussion on 'Reggae Cumbia' from Sheila E."
~~~A.B Quintanilla Selena's Brother on his new group..Los Kumbia Kings cd first cd release "Amor, Familia y Respeto".
AB on touring..."We are trying to do something like the Backstreet Boys and hit the malls and certain areas where Mexican or Latino groups don't hit."
"A little weasel," he says angrily. "He's another one of those vultures. He saw a way to make a dollar, and he went for it, The guy interviewed Selena for fifteen to thirty minutes her whole life, and all of a sudden he's an expert?"
~~~Abraham Quintanilla on Joe Nick Patoski, author of "Selena, Como La Flor."
"There are some actors who are so fake when they're having fun on camera that it drives me crazy. Like, the Selena movie — Jennifer Lopez's laughter is so fake. Granted, she had to do 18 takes and everything, but my take on that is, 'If you can't bring the joy, just don't do it.' "
~~~Janeane Garofalo, some chic from the Alley McBeal show. (Me, Tatiana feels Jennifer did an excellent job!)
"Selena was dark, like me, and had a Latin body, like mine, and didn't try to hide that. She went up there on stage and said: `This is who I am, and I like it. Why should I aspire to be blond and thin?'"
~~~~ Jennifer Lopez, who portrays the late singer in the filmSelena, before the movie came out.
"We want to start out in regional/Mexican, but we want to break out into pop, hopefully. We also want to play some R&B. I guess you could call us the Mexican DLG, or the Mexican Sean (Puffy) Combs."
~~~A.B. Quintanilla about his new group Kumbia Kings.
