Background and production
Kudai began recording their third studio album in October 2007; the members had the conviction to compose and write songs together with the producers.[6] Together with Koko Stambuk, who wrote the track "Tú" from the re-release of their second studio album, Sobrevive, Kudai composed several songs.
Their third studio album Nadha has 12 songs, of which six were written by the producer Koko Stambuk (ex-musician of Glup!). Three other songs are from the recognized producer Carlos Lara, who is considered to be the creator of RBD and has collaborated with musicians such as Lynda Thomas and Ricky Martin. Cathy Lean (Ex-Mal Corazón), from Chile, also wrote two of the album's songs. Nadha's production was described as much more organic, very different from her previous productions. "It's like a very neutral mix" between pop and rock.[7]
