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.
Estoy Loco
Elefante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de salir por la ventana,
de olvidarme del ayer
y no pensar en mañana
tantas ganas de sentir
el viento sobre mi cara,
de volar lejos de aqui
de perderme en tu mirada
tanta vida nos espera,
tanto fuego tanto amor
un millon de primaveras
tantas puertas por abrir,
tantas nuches estrelladas,
tantas cosas por decir
que estoy muriendo de ganas
estoy loco ya lo se
pero lo llevo en la sangre,
es el fuego que me invade
me hace perder la razon
estoy loco ya lo vez
pero tu tambien un poco,
es la fuerza de la vida,
que me empuja el corazon.
estoy loco
tantas ganas de soñar
de olvidarme de las penas,
tantas cosas por llegar
tantas cosas que se alejan
tantas ganas de gritar
de escaparme algunas noches,
de buscar y de encontrar
caminar y solo caminar.
The lyrics of Elefante's song Estoy Loco express the desire to break free from the burden of past regrets and future anxieties. The singer feels an urge to run away, to let the wind caress his face and to lose himself in someone's gaze. He perceives a world full of possibilities, with endless doors to open, starry nights to contemplate, and love to be shared. The chorus repeats the phrase "Estoy loco" (I am crazy), which can be interpreted as an admission of emotional intensity, a declaration of personal uniqueness, or a sign of rebellion against conformity.
The song can be seen as an ode to the human psyche's thirst for adventure, connection, and self-discovery. The singer acknowledges that his impulses may seem irrational to others, but he embraces them as part of his identity. He links his "craziness" to the fire that fuels his soul and makes him feel alive. He invites his listeners to join him on his journey and to embrace their own eccentricities, in a world that often tries to suppress them.
