Vuelo is the debut studio album by Chilean pop vocal group Kudai, released on July 10, 2004 in Chile and two years later in Mexico and the rest of Latin America. After finishing their project as a children's band CIAO, Pablo Holman, Bárbara Sepúlveda, Nicole Natalino and Tomas Manzi, began to prepare a new stage as a teenage band with the help of their manager, Pablo Vega, and composer Gustavo Pinochet. Thus was conceived Kudai, which derives from the Mapudungun word "kudau" (native Chilean language), which according to the band members means "young worker".
