In 2006 Nicole Natalino left the group citing personal reasons, and was replaced by Ecuadorian Gabriela Villalba. The band's name comes from the Mapudungun word küdaw, meaning "work."

The group is hugely popular mostly among teenagers in South America, the Caribbean, Panamá, Central America, and Mexico, though they rank highly among teenagers in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States as well.
Biography.-
Kudai was formed in the year 2000, when a band of children was put together to sing tribute songs of Italian hits of the '80s. This band was called "Ciao", and produced only one disc with relative success. Afterwards, they begun to perform group-submitted songs and musical interpretation of diverse instruments and changed their name to "Kudai". This word comes from the mapudungun kudau (meaning young worker). Kudai released their first album "VUELO" (Spanish for flight) in 2004, and their first single "Sin Despertar" quickly escalated to the first places of Chilean music rankings. Soon they released their second single "Ya Nada Queda", which achieved great success as did their third single "Escapar". "VUELO" became platinum in August 2005.
Kudai was nominated for "Best Artist—Central Region" and "Best New Artist—Central Region" in the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America 2005. They released their first DVD, which included their 2004-2005 Tour, in September 2005. They are successful all over South America and Mexico.
In 2006 they recorded their second album. It's single "Déjame Gritar" reached number 1 at Latin MTV's TRL "Los 10 + Pedidos". They also released a video for "Quiero Mis Quinces"
During their promotional tour Nicole Natalino left the group, and she was replaced temporarily by Gabriela Villalba, an ecuatorian singer who was part of an Ecuadorian group called "Kiruba". Gabriela was part of Kudai's tour opening act. Villalba became a permanent member of the group, and now contributes to the group's excellent trajectory.
They also perform the theme for the MTV Latin America's show "Quiero mis Quinces" (English:"My Super Sweet 15").
They re-record their second album after the defarture of Nicole Natalino and released on September 26 the new album featuring Gabriela's voice.
On October 19, 2006 the group won the MTV VMA Latin America award for "Best Pop Artist", which they dedicated to their fans and Nicole, ex-member of the group. After the success of the group, they were invited to the Viña del Mar Festival that was celebrated on February, 2007.

Abrázame
Kudai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
te quedes un momento
Estoy perdiéndote
Es así, somos como un desierto,
sin agua sin aliento
Para sobrevivir
Tu amor me hace entrar
Tu amor me hace entrar
Sabes bien que es así
Lo supe desde siempre
Déjame pedirte otro deseo,
me esperes un momento
Estás perdiéndome
Sale el sol, pero no amanece,
no hay agua bajo el puente
Tampoco en mi alma
Tu amor me hace entrar
En medio del abismo
Tu amor me hace entrar
Sabes bien que es así
Lo supe desde siempre
Espero tu voz, cada minuto,
por siempre, por siempre
Tu amor me hace entrar
En medio del abismo
Tu amor me hace entrar
Sabes bien que es así
Lo supe desde siempre
The song "Abrázame" by Kudai is a poignant plea for love and connection amidst feelings of emptiness and desperation. The lyrics are filled with a sense of longing and a desire to hold onto what little love is left. The opening lines, "Déjame pedirte un deseo, te quedes un momento" (Let me make a wish, that you stay a little longer), set the tone for the song's theme of wanting to hold onto something that is slipping away. The singer pleads for their loved one to stay, recognizing that they are in danger of losing them for good.
The desert imagery used in the song is particularly effective in conveying a sense of emptiness and loss. The line "Es así, somos como un desierto, sin agua sin aliento" (That's how we are, like a desert, without water or breath) paints a picture of a dry, lifeless landscape. The lover's absence is felt keenly, and the singer feels as though they are struggling to survive without them.
Despite the melancholy lyrics, the song ends on a note of hope and perseverance. The final lines of "Espero tu voz, cada minuto, por siempre, por siempre" (I wait for your voice, every minute, forever, forever) suggest that the singer is willing to hold on and keep waiting for their loved one to return. The song is a beautiful expression of the complexity and depth of love, and the many ways in which it can sustain us even in the darkest of times.
