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.
Te Necesito
Kabah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando llegaste a mi vida cambio mi destino
Y sentí
Que juntos
Hemos crecido y creído
En un mismo mundo tu y yo
Es tu voz sin razón
Lo que me enloquece,
Me mantiene fuerte
Como te explico que te necesito,
Para encontrarme vivo y sentirme protegido
Como te explico que te necesito,
No importan las palabras, sabes lo que siento por ti
Recuerdo,
Verte correr por la playa con tantas miradas en ti
De noche,
Siento tu cuerpo en mi cama y a veces no dejas dormir
Compartir, descubrir
Todo en teoría
Entender que al final
Es una ironía
Aunque a veces que no me haces caso
Y me ves la cara de desesperado
Sabes que te gusta ser protagonista
Y tienes la facha de exhibicionista
A donde tu llegas tienes mil amigos,
Y es tu culpa si quieren conmigo
Pero si alguien se me acerca, lo dejas herido
Cuando llego a casa, saltas y me ladras,
Y en este escenario como te extraño
The song "Te Necesito" by Kabah is a love song that expresses the deep emotions felt by the singer towards a lover. The lyrics reveal the significant change that occurred in the singer's life after the lover came into it, as they grew and believed in the same world. The singer is enamored of their lover's voice, scent, and warmth, which all serve to keep them strong. The chorus of the song highlights how much the singer needs their lover to feel alive and protected, even if they find it difficult to explain the depth of their feelings in words.
The second verse starts with a flashback memory of the singer seeing their lover running on the beach with many eyes on them. Additionally, they mention the times their lover's body keeps them awake at night. The verse then explores the theoretical stage of love, where everything is a discovery and sharing between two people. The irony of love is that even though both parties believe in love, sometimes they can not understand the effect it has on themselves and their partner.
