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.

Por Un Beso
Jaguares Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Una virgen vieja
Un amor que busca ser amado
Una pasión herida
Una vidente ciega
Una colección de tristezas
Tu presencia en buda
Tu iluminación en mi guarida
Una ninfa triste
Un centauro loco
Una sirena en busca de un abrazo
Por un beso
Se alteró el universo
Y nos condenaron a no tocarnos mas
Te cuento, que en la marea
Hay una esfera
Es la resurrección
Unas manos únicas
Unos labios solos
Un hermoso ser está perdido
Es un cuento viejo
Es la propia vida
Es la sangre la que nos llama
Por un beso
Se alteró el universo
Y nos condenaron a no tocarnos mas
Te cuento, que en la marea
Hay una esfera
Es la resurrección
Por un beso
Se alteró el universo
Y nos condenaron a no tocarnos mas
The lyrics of Jaguares' song "Por Un Beso" (For a Kiss) depict a story of forbidden love and the consequences that come with it. The first verse reflects the desperation and longing of a love that seeks to be reciprocated but finds itself thwarted by obstacles of age, blindness, and pain. The following verses introduce mystical and mythical elements such as the moon in heat, a Buddha presence, a sad nymph, a crazy centaur and a mourning mermaid in search of comfort.
The ultimate consequence of this passionate love is the turmoil it causes in the universe, as conveyed by the refrain "Por un beso se alteró el universo" (For a kiss, the universe was disturbed). The last verse introduces a hint of hope and resurrection, which might speak to the possibility of a reunion beyond this world.
The lyrics of "Por Un Beso" invite us into a world of intense emotions and mysterious energies where even the smallest gesture, a kiss, can have the power to shake the foundations of reality. The poetic elements, with the use of symbols and archetypes, convey a story that transcends the boundaries of time and space, exploring themes of love, lust, and longing.
