Jumbo (1): In the early 90's, before the creation of Jumbo, Castillo, Charly, Eddie, Chuy Guerra, Javier Othón and René Garza formed a band called Blueswagen which played mainly covers of bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Pink Floyd, R.E.M., U2, The Police, Lenny Kravitz, Stone Temple Pilots and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. They started gaining more fans and an increasing popularity, which led to playing bars and clubs and recording many demos. BMG obtained one of the demos and started looking for them. Later the band signed with them.
In 1996, Flip joined the band and in 1997 Bugs, Eddie's brother, returned from Quintana Roo, Mexico and also joined the band. They changed the band's name to "Jumbo", after an Asian baby boy named Jumbo Jin Li who weighed at the time approximately 50 kg.
In 1997 and 1998, they recorded their first album, Restaurant, which included the singles "Monotransistor", "Siento que...", "Aquí" and "Fotografía", songs which were well received by the public.
It was 2001 and Jumbo came back with 'D.D. y ponle play' their second recording. The first sigle was 'Rockstar'. Also, a song of this album appeared on one tv commercial, the song was 'Motocicleta'.
2003 marked the band's last studio release titled Teleparque spawning the hits "En Repeticion" and "Bajo Control."
In May 2005, brothers Eddie and Bugs Wako left the band. Bugs moved with his wife to Los Angeles, while Eduardo left the band so he could pursue different musical projects. Earlier in the year, Jumbo also released a greatest hits cd/dvd package that included two new songs ("Caminando Hacia Atras" and "Hasta Que El Sol Se Apague") along with their entire music video history.
Jumbo (2) formed in Milan at the end of 1969 around singer-songwriter Alvaro Fella (whose nickname "Jumbo" gave the band their name). Their debut self-titled album was recorded in 1971 and released in 1972, the same year as the second, the highly regarded DNA. Their third and final studio album, Vietato ai minori di 18 anni?, came out in 1973. After a long period of sporadic activity, the band reformed for a concert appearance in 1989 (recorded as Live in Paris). Fella's gravelly voice and the unusual combination of acoustic and electric instruments gave Jumbo a sound unlike any other progressive band of the time.
Jumbo (3): Released debut album "C.B. Mamas" in 1999 on indie label Bright Orange Biscuit, and self titled follow up on Cargo in 2001

Jumbo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No existe ese lugar para encontrarte.
Luego nos aburrimos de más
Y el corazón se va cayendo solo
Nunca te decidiste a dejar de bailar
Fumando el tiempo
Un horario indistinto y te vas
Y te cruza en la cabeza
Que un millón de cosas van al revés
Cuando no se acaba el silencio
Te mueves en el mismo lugar
Cuando no se acaba el silencio
Extrañas que no puedes llegar
Luego de 15 horas
Cuando empiezas a extrañar el azul de cielo
Cuando no hay más complejos por dar
Ignoras al azar las palmadas en la espalda
Y me caga que me expliquen
Porque el bueno siempre gana al final
Cuando no se acaba el silencio
Te mueves en el mismo lugar
Cuando no se acaba el silencio
Extrañas que no puedes llegar
No existe ese lugar
Para encontrarte
Sigo buscando y no puedo hallar
Cuando no se acaba el silencio
Te mueves en el mismo lugar
Cuando no se acaba el silencio
Extrañas que no puedes llegar(x2)
The lyrics of Jumbo's song "15 Horas" seem to describe the feeling of being lost and unable to find a place of belonging. The first stanza suggests that there is no specific place where the singer can find what they are looking for, and as time passes they become more and more disheartened. The mention of the heart falling is a metaphor for a loss of hope and motivation.
The second stanza seems to describe a feeling of being stuck in a rut, unable to break free and make a change. The line "nunca te decidiste a dejar de bailar" could be interpreted as being hesitant to stop living in the moment and make a long-term decision about one's life. The mention of "comprando todo light" could be a reference to trying to make changes in one's life by focusing on superficial things, rather than making real changes.
The chorus repeats the idea that when the silence doesn't end, we can feel like we are stuck in the same place, and we long for something more. The mention of "15 horas" could be a reference to the passing of time, and how it can feel like an eternity when we are lost.
Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of frustration and longing, and a search for meaning and purpose.

Todo lo que me dices,
Everything you tell me,
No existe ese lugar para encontrarte.
There's no such place to find you.
Luego nos aburrimos de más
Later we get too bored
Y el corazón se va cayendo solo
And the heart falls apart on its own
Nunca te decidiste a dejar de bailar
You never decided to stop dancing
Fumando el tiempo
Smoking time away
Un horario indistinto y te vas
An undefined schedule and you leave
Comprando todo light te sientes menos
Buying everything light makes you feel less
Y te cruza en la cabeza
And crosses your mind
Que un millón de cosas van al revés
That a million things are going wrong
Cuando no se acaba el silencio
When the silence doesn't end
Te mueves en el mismo lugar
You stay in the same place
Extrañas que no puedes llegar
You miss not being able to reach
Luego de 15 horas
After 15 hours
Cuando empiezas a extrañar el azul de cielo
When you start to miss the blue sky
Cuando no hay más complejos por dar
When there are no more obstacles to give
Ignoras al azar las palmadas en la espalda
You ignore random pats on the back
Y me caga que me expliquen
And it pisses me off when they explain it to me
Porque el bueno siempre gana al final
Because the good guy always wins in the end
No existe ese lugar
There's no such place
Para encontrarte
To find you
Sigo buscando y no puedo hallar
I keep looking and can't find
Extrañas que no puedes llegar
You miss not being able to reach (x2)
