New Música: A.B. Quintanilla's 'La Vida De Un Genio'

By Simone Hilliard

After a three-year hiatus, A.B. Quintanilla and the All Starz are finally back with brand new music today (July 27), with the release of La Vida de un Genio.

The album features a slew of star appearances, including: Marciano Cantero (from los Enanitos Verdes), Julio Voltio & DJ Kane in “Hipnótika” (which was selected as the first single); Los Dinos & José Feliciano in “Nací para Sufrir” (Born to Suffer); Reyli in “Nunca te Voy a Olvidar” (I Will Never Forget You); Luis Enrique in “Invisible,” and many more.

On the album's star power, A.B. had this to say:

“When we decided to make the record, we wrote a list of all the singers that we wanted to invite, imagining that it would be a dream impossible to accomplish. But we were very surprised when all of them started to accept.”

Besides planning the new LP, A.B. spent the last 3 years reconnecting with his family and even dedicated this album to his father who has always believed in him.  

“He is the main reason behind my decision to become a musician. When I was really young, a producer that had offered me some songs ended up giving them to someone else. When my father saw me crying over it he told me: ‘Instead of crying you should be writing your own songs. Don’t leave your room until you have one.’”

Sound advice!
