Kabah was formed in 1992 by Federica Tapia and her brother André. Their cousin Sergio was next to be added to the group, and later their neighbor and friend Maria José. At the time there were many pop groups in Mexico with four members, so Frederica and André decided to add longtime friends René and Daniela, bringing the total to six.

Shortly after the addition of these final two members, they did a cover for the group The Party. The song was called Encontré El Amor (I Found Love). Shortly after the release of Encontré El Amor, the group recorded this and another song, Somos Tan Diferentes (We are so different) at Gil Brothers studios, forming a two song demo tape

Eager to show their talent, they were given the chance to sing their two songs at a popular club. However, they were ill received by the audience and ultimately booed off the stage. Their second show came at the end of 1993 at a kindergarten where Federica worked as a teacher's assistant. For this show, they remade their two songs, giving them a more child friendly feel. Ironically, this event would end up marking their careers, as they realized they could find greater favor among younger audiences.
Despite their hopes however, they were initially turned down by several producers, such as Cha, Claudio Yarto and Aleks Syntek. It was not until Federica accidentally came across the phone number for Televisa that they found success. After calling Luis de Llano, the only music producer of the network, they were asked to come in for a meeting.

Luis told them about a singing talent show called Valores Juveniles, and suggested they spend a few months practicing for it. They then signed a contract for one album with Polygram Music, and soon after their first album, Kabah, was finished. They then went on to win the talent show with their first song, "Encontré El Amor." The album, which was officially released in 1994, contained four songs written by the group and was a success among the younger population.

The first album was such a success that Polygram Music decided to sign them and gave them a contract to make two more albums. They started recording a second album which would be titled La Calle De Las Sirenas (The Street Of The Mermaids). It was released in 1996 and was recorded in Los Angeles. La calle de Las Sirenas opened many doors for the group, and carried them to international fame.

1998's Esperanto followed, selling a record of 100,000 copies in the first week. It featured the singles "Mai, Mai", "Una Ilusión," and "Esperanto". The next follow-up, XNE, led the group to a more conceptualized image and somewhat darker sound. It also contained the theme song for the Mexican soap operaAmigas y Rivales.

In 2002, they returned to a lighter sound with La Vida Que Va, which was recorded in Norway under the Warner Music label and produced by Ole Evenrude. La Vuelta al Mundo, was released in 2003, and the band's final album, El Pop, was released in 2005. El Pop featured acoustic versions of a few of their greatest-hits, as well as two new songs. A farewell tour took them all across North America, concluding with a final show on December 31, 2005 on the bay of Acapulco, Mexico.

Soy Azul
Kabah Lyrics

Vas a venir
vas a decir que no pero después te vas a confundir
Vas a tratar
de involucrarme más y yo diré que solo quieres jugar.

Y si me buscas yo sabré
que no lo puedes ocultar
que tu sueñas conmigo

Vas a segur poniendo cara de que yo no fui,
me vas a hacer reír
vas a arrastrar
con tu inseguridad hasta el final, ha ver si puedo caer,

Y si me buscas yo sabré,
que no lo puedes ocultar

Y es que yo soy azul y tu quieres morder
y es que pretendes más de lo que puedo dar
y es que yo soy tu luz, y tu la obscuridad
y tratas de correr y yo quiero flotar

Pero al final soy demasiado para ti

Vas a venir
vas a decir que no pero después te vas a confundir
Vas a tratar
de involucrarme más y yo diré que solo quieres jugar.

Y si me buscas yo sabré
que no lo puedes ocultar

Y es que yo soy azul y tu quieres morder
y es que pretendes más de lo que puedo dar
y es que yo soy tu luz, y tu la obscuridad
y tratas de correr y yo quiero flotar

Pero al final yo también quiero contigo.

Overall Meaning

The song Soy Azul by Kabah is about a person who is being pursued by someone who is interested in them. The person being pursued knows that the other person is being insincere and only wants to play games. They are confident in their own worth and they know that the other person is not strong enough to handle the intensity of their feelings. The song speaks to the power struggle between two people who are attracted to each other but can't seem to fully connect.

The lyrics start by describing the other person's behavior. They will initially deny their interest but will eventually become confused and try to involve the singer more. The singer acknowledges that the other person dreams about them but still tries to deny their own feelings. The other person will continue to act like they are innocent and make the singer laugh. They will try to manipulate the singer with their insecurities but the singer will remain firm.

The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is too much for the other person to handle. They know that the other person wants to take a bite out of them, but they can only give so much. The singer represents light while the other person is darkness. The other person wants to run away while the singer wants to fly. However, at the end of the song, the singer suggests that they also want to be with the other person.
