1) Elefante was one of Uruguay's leading rock bands in the 90's, formed in Montevideo. The original lineup consisted of STELLA MARIS (voice), BESTIA (guitar), HARRY (bass), CHONIUK (drums), and MANECO (guitar and samplers).
Elefante was one of the most significative bands from that decade, mixing hip-hop, nü-metal and electronica in their music. In addition, a female voice in the front gave them a different touch. They were always linked by the Montevideo's underground.
Elefante edited three albums. "Elefante 1" (Koala Records / 2000), "Bazar" (Koala Records / 2001), and "Forma" (Koala Records / 2002).
After "Forma", the band split up in 2002.

2) Mexican Elefante formed in the early '90s. They had the opportunity to play for a major audience in 2000 while opening for Joaquín Sabina at Mexico City's Auditorio Nacional. A year later, the band represented Mexico in Viña del Mar, the most popular Chilean festival, with a song called "De la Noche a la Mañana." The song was featured in Elefante's debut album El Que Busca Encuentra, produced by Nacho Bejar.

3. Redirected Elephante is the recording and performing moniker of Tim Wu, a Los Angeles-based EDM DJ/producer known for his big-room progressive house anthems and remixes of artists ranging from Clean Bandit to Lorde. He generally tends to produce pop-leaning vocal dance tracks, but he dips into slower, trap-inspired numbers as well. Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1989, Wu began playing music at an early age, receiving classical piano training before teaching himself to play guitar. He graduated from Harvard University in 2011 and initially tried to break into the music business as an acoustic singer/songwriter before switching to electronic dance music. He started out creating remixes before producing original tracks, and his first EP was released in 2013. Since then, he's released dozens of tracks and remixes, with songs like "I Want You" and "Age of Innocence" receiving millions of online streams. His debut full-length, I Am the Elephante, appeared in 2016. "Troubled," a collaborative single with singer Deb's Daughter, appeared in early 2017.
Amores Prohibidos
Elefante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mariposas de color
Fantasías en cualquier esquina
Y yo sin su amor
Hay mujeres por las que se da la vida
Y un poquito más
Yo la quise desde el primer día tanto
Amores prohibidos que vienen y van
Que nunca se han ido
Que no volverán
Amores que matan, que duelen demás
Amor de mentira, amor de verdad
Acércate más
Hay miradas que te dicen tanto
Que te hacen soñar
Madrugadas que jamás terminan
Que nunca se irán, no no no no no no no
Alguna vez te encontraré
Me encontrarás
Amores prohibidos que vienen y van
Que nunca se han ido
Que no volverán
Amores que matan, que duelen de más
Amor de mentiras, amor de verdad
Acércate más
Amores prohibidos que vienen y van
Que nunca se han ido
Que no volverán
Amores que matan, que duelen de más
Amor de mentiras, amor de verdad
Acércate más
Acércate más
Acércate más
The lyrics of Elefante's song "Amores Prohibidos" describe the pain and longing that come with forbidden love. The poet describes the broken hearts seen in the streets, the colorful butterflies and the fantasies found in every corner. Despite all of this, the singer is without the love of his life. He goes on to say that there are women for whom one can give their life and then some, and he loved her from the first day without fear or reservation.
The chorus of the song speaks to the fleeting nature of these forbidden romances, ones that never truly leave but can never be returned to. They are the loves that hurt, the ones that can be lies or truths but always leave their mark. The poet implores for the object of his desire to come closer, to stay closer.
The lyrics of "Amores Prohibidos" showcase the universal feeling of at once coveting and fearing forbidden love. It is a potent mix of desire and desperation, and it captures the whirlwind of emotion that comes with such a relationship.

Dure dos años con una mujer madura, fue la mejor experiencia en todos los aspectos, aunque al principio dejamos todo muy en claro, al final cuando decidimos decirnos adiós dolió más de lo que imaginamos. Fue algo muy lindo.
