Arenas, Tropa Magica, La Ronda Bogotá, Bang Data, and La Septima Banda among others.

The group is comprised of Carlos L Cortez (Rhythm Guitar/Vox), Alejandro Gomez (Lead Guitar/Vox), Mario Cortez (Guida/Keyboard/Vox), Ricardo Cortez (Drums/Vox), and William Cortez (Bass).
With the new song, "Para Poderte Olvidar" they bring their own twist to a cumbia love story. They reflect, "The song 'Para Poderte Olvidar' was inspired by the hardships we've faced and the moment we decided to let it go and forget. That can be the most difficult and yet the most beautiful moment in our lives." They continue, "I think everyone saw a glimmer of hope everything was getting better and we started to celebrate to forget the past. Humans do this, we work to forget the old to start anew and that is the beauty of life. That's the start of change. When people feel like things are so bad, things need to change even if leaving the past kills you."
The new single comes out ahead of their 3rd studio album due out in Spring 2022. So far they have released three singles off the new album with the song "Para Poderte Olvidar" as the fourth and soon to be the newest release. Included on the album will be a cover of Chico Che's cult classic "Mata De Mota'', which features Los Angeles based Psychedelic Cumbia band Tropa Magica. Also a retro sounding quebradita produced by Eduardo Arenas of Chicano Batman called "El DUI." And Most recently ¿Qiensave? dropped their latest single on International Women's Day, "La Poderosa'' a celebration of la poderosa women who have supported the band along their journey.
