Soon after the release of their first album, El Equilibrio de los Jaguares, José Manuel dropped out of the band and Federico Fong took a break from the band, relatedly, as well. Saúl and Alfonso looked for a person who could replace José Manuel. After a period of time, Saúl found the perfect replacement, César López Garcia, most famously known as "El Vampiro" (During Saúl's time in Caifanes he once called "El Vampiro" to invite him to Caifanes, but his invitation was declined, because "El Vampiro" felt in a good position; He was in Azul Violeta during this time. He was also a member of Maná from 1991-1994.) The look for a guitarist was over, but the search for a bassist was still remaining. Sabo Romo, the ex-bassist of Caifanes, was invited to join Jaguares and he accepted. Saúl added one more musician to Jaguares, Jarris Margalli; Jarris did keyboards and samplers.
After the release of their second album, Sabo took a break from the band and Jarris was fired from the band, because Saúl and Alfonso didn't need him in the band, since he was only doing small things in songs that were basically, needless. Jaguares got their name from one of Saúl's dreams. He dreamt that he was singing in a jaguar's mouth.
In 2007, Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur was released. It is a compilation album of various artists covering songs of John Lennon to benefit Amnesty International's campaign to alleviate the crisis in Darfur. In it Jaguares cover the protest song "Gimme Some Truth" from Lennon's 1971 album Imagine.

El Milagro
Jaguares Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Una hoguera mi trinchera
Una esponja tu mano
Mi deseo tu cuerpo
Es la conciencia, es una lágrima
De mi forma de resistencia
Es un sacramento exacto
Es una bola de pasión es mi justificación
Es una mansión desierta es una misión secreta
Es una revolución una mutación total
Un escape al más allá una lucha mortal
Es una hiena es una rosa
Es un milagro, poderte creer
Es luna llena y no te afecta
Es un milagro poderte querer
El milagro es corazón reciclablemente etéreo
Es un altar una oración
Una elevación una sombra
Una pantera es una mandril
Un código infantil
Es una herida es un reptil
La esperanza es la deidad
Es el vacío en tu matriz el cielo entre los dos
La mentira subliminal el creer que estamos bien
Es un derrame es un guerrero
Una danza en la montaña
Una rebelión eterna
Es genético es mortal
Es una hiena es una rosa
Es un milagro poderte creerte
Es Luna llena y no te afecta
Es milagro poderte creer
The song "El Milagro" by Jaguares is a compound of different ideas and moments that are crucial in life. The lyrics seem to portray an inner struggle of someone who is trying to find hope and meaning in the midst of chaos and adversity. The song starts by stating that "the miracle is a light, a fire my trench, a sponge your hand, my desire your body," suggesting that the singer has found hope in someone or something particular. As the song progresses, different elements are added to the miracle, such as consciousness, tears, gangrene, and passion, portraying the complexities of life itself.
The lyrics also depict a sense of dichotomy between good and bad, beauty and darkness, and hope and despair. The line "It's a hyena, it's a rose" exemplifies this contrast. The reference to a panther and a mandrill, two completely different animals, suggests a childlike innocence that permeates the song. The idea of a miracle being "a recyclable ethereal heart" and a "subliminal lie" is particularly compelling. This contradiction between reality and belief highlights the importance of faith and hope.
