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.

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").

No Quiero Regresar
Kudai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Miedo
Entre la risa why el misterio
Entre el bien why entre el mal
Un comienzo, un final
Cierro puertas why otras
Puertas se abren
Ya no hay camino why aún no
Hay un vuelo
Why no sé donde estar
Quiero andar why parar
Quiero irme lejos why al final why
[Coro]
No quiero regresar
Ya no quiero volver atrás
Quiero huir
Quiero ver el amanecer
Sin nada que perder
Duele estar, duele irse lejos
Pesa estar preso why ser libre
Es más peso
Es hora de hablar
Es tiempo de emigrar
Quiero ser, quiero ver,
Quiero irme lejos
[Coro]
No quiero regresar
Ya no quiero volver atrás
Quier huir
Quiero ver el amanecer
Sin nada que perder
No quiero regresar
Es tiempo de cambiar
Es hora de sentir la libertad
[Coro]
No quiero regresar
Ya no quiero volver atrás
Quiero huir
Quiero ver el amanecer
Sin nada que perder
The lyrics of Kudai's song No Quiero Regresar express the desire to move forward and leave the past behind. The song talks about the importance of taking risks and facing fear in order to achieve freedom and liberation. The opening lines reflect the juxtaposition between valor (courage) and miedo (fear), risa (laughter) and misterio (mystery), and bien (good) and mal (evil), implying that life is filled with contradictions and uncertainties.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "No quiero regresar" (I don't want to go back) as a declaration of the singer's determination to move forward and never look back. The lyrics express the desire for a new beginning and the willingness to leave everything behind, even if it means losing everything. The line "Quiero ver el amanecer sin nada que perder" (I want to see the sunrise with nothing to lose) reflects the idea of starting anew, without any baggage from the past.
In the second verse, the lyrics talk about the pain of leaving and the weight of being both a prisoner and being free. The singer realizes that it's time to speak up and embrace change, regardless of how difficult it may be. The song ends with a call for freedom and a desire to embrace the unknown.
