After Slash left the band, Alan Fuentes ask Sergio Arroyo to joint Moonlight Combo. Sergio was all ready in a band (sundown cuatro)but decide to join Moonlight Combo because of the lack of success of sundown cuatro. Eventually, the rest of sundown cuartro followed. In September of 2000 the guys asked Aaron's brother, Al Martinez, to come play a blues song with them at one of their shows, after playing a blues song,someone suggested they start playing a cumbia. As soon as they did the crowd enjoyed it and started dancing. At the next shows everyone started asking for more cumbias so Al started playing with them.
