About the Show:
With a long career under his belt, A.B Quintanilla is one of Latin music's most renowned songwriters/musicians/producers, and he's worked with a who's who list of Latin and American artists. After a three-year hiatus, this Latin Grammy winner is back with a new album titled "La Vida De un Genio" – which he dedicates to his father. This new production is a concept album in which Quintanilla called on some of his famous friends to collaborate, everyone from Gilberto Santa Rosa to Jorge Celedón and José Feliciano, to name a few. The first single "Hipnótika," which features DJ Kane and Julio Voltio, is sure to give Quintanilla another chart topper. Don't miss this exclusive with A.B Quintanilla, and hear first hand all about this new album, the idea behind it and what we can expect to hear!

On the guest artists:
"We were kind of in shock because everybody we asked to participate in the album actually accepted. We ended up with a total of 17 artists on 10 tracks."
Picking the single:
"I actually wrote two songs. When the record label came in, I said 'it's going be a concept album and I have these two songs, which one of these do you think we can lead off with?' …From the two songs they said 'Hipnótika' would be the coolest…"
Dedicating the album to his dad:
"I dedicated the album 'La Vida De un Genio,' which is also a song, to my dad is because everything that I have become is because of him. If it were'nt for him, I would've never become a songwriter or a producer…"
On the album:
"I'd have to say this album is cumbia with swag. If anyone out there understands the word swag, it's just a really, really relaxed cumbia. It's got punch, power but it's relaxed…"
On working with big artists:
"I've worked with a lot of famous Latin artists… In this one, I have to say the one person I had a strong connection with was Marciano from Los Enanitos Verdes… He's a wonderful human being…that's really accomplished a lot. He's the Mick Jagger of the Latin world…"
Message to fans:
"Thank you for waiting. I'm sorry it took so long; it was out of my control… I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for sticking with me. I really, really hope you guys enjoy this album because I made it with all my love for you guys."
