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.

Viaje Astral
Jaguares Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A construir su constelación
Fuera de toda represión
Creó su propia abstracción material
Tu instinto fue quien te enseñó ese viaje astral
Nadie podrá detener esa evolución mortal
Y se desplaza entre los tiempos
Es todo el cosmos y no es nadie
Está más allá de lo que puedas sentir
Tu instinto fue quien te enseñó ese viaje astral
Nadie podrá detener esa evolución mortal
Tu instinto fue quien te enseñó ese viaje astral
Nadie podrá detener esa evolución mortal
In Jaguares' song Viaje Astral, the lyrics describe a woman who has embarked on a journey of self-discovery and creation of her own reality. She travels through her balcony to build her own constellation and escapes all forms of repression to create her own material abstraction.
The song speaks to the idea of breaking free from societal norms and the expectations that limit us from discovering our true selves. She uses her intuition as a guide in her astral journey, which the lyrics suggest is a mortal evolution that cannot be stopped by anyone. The woman in the lyrics is in touch with the cosmos and transcends beyond what we can feel, suggesting that her experience is beyond the limitations of human existence.
Moreover, the lyrics talk about her dialogue with fire, in which she travels through time and space. She becomes part of the cosmos and no one at the same time, transcending the boundaries of identity and becoming something greater. The song implies that this is all possible through the power of the mind and the unlimited potential that lies within each one of us.
