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
Caminando Hacia Atras
Jumbo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sin saber no hay nada peor después
Y me volviste a robar el alma otra vez
Se me hace tarde para comprender
(Se me hace tarde)
Y no me digas que no podemos,
Siempre me dices que no sabemos,
Vamos caminando hacia atrás.
Hoy no pudimos guardar la calma sin tener
Nada mejor que hacer,
Tratando de intercambiar la cara otra vez
Nos refugiamos en la estupidez
(Y nos refugiamos)
Y no me digas que no podemos,
Siempre me dices que no sabremos,
Vamos caminando mal, vamos caminando
Vamos caminando hacia atrás.
Cada ves caemos al mismo fondo con rojo y amarillo
Panorámicos me vendes todo
Y no me digas que no podemos
Siempre me dices que no sabemos
Vamos caminando mal
Vamos caminando hacia atrás
Vamos caminando mal
Vamos caminando hacia atrás
Vamos caminando mal
Vamos caminando hacia atrás
The song Caminando Hacía Atrás by Jumbo is an emotional ballad that touches on the theme of nostalgia and regret. The lyrics describe a meeting between two people who have a history, but things are not the same anymore. The first verse talks about how the singer and their partner met again and they didn't know what to say, indicating that something had changed since their last meeting. The second verse talks about their attempt to reconcile, but all they could do was argue and give in to their foolish pride. The chorus emphasizes the futility of trying to move forward when they are always taking steps backward, unable to escape the cycle they are in. The bridge of the song brings in a metaphor where the singer compares their situation to a fall, and they keep falling back into the same place with no escape in sight.
The lyrics of Caminando Hacía Atrás are full of raw emotions that anyone who has ever been in a complicated relationship can relate to. The themes of nostalgia, regret, and emotional pain are threaded throughout the song. The lyrics show the struggle of trying to reconcile past mistakes and move forward when both parties are unable to let go of the past. The song is a reminder that sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we can never completely escape the mistakes of our past.

Hoy nos volvimos a ver las caras
We met again today
Sin saber no hay nada peor después
Without knowledge, there is no worse outcome later
Y me volviste a robar el alma otra vez
And once again, you stole my soul
Se me hace tarde para comprender (Se me hace tarde)
It's getting late for me to understand (It's getting late)
Y no me digas que no podemos,
And don't tell me we can't,
Siempre me dices que no sabemos,
You always tell me we don't know how,
Vamos caminando mal,
We're walking in the wrong direction,
Vamos caminando hacia atrás.
We're walking backwards.
Hoy no pudimos guardar la calma sin tener
We couldn't keep calm today without
Nada mejor que hacer,
Nothing better to do,
Tratando de intercambiar la cara otra vez
Trying to exchange looks again
Nos refugiamos en la estupidez
We take refuge in stupidity
(Y nos refugiamos)
(And we take refuge)
Cada vez caemos al mismo fondo con rojo y amarillo
Every time we fall to the same bottom with red and yellow
Panorámicos me vendes todo
You sell me everything panoramic
Vamos caminando mal
We're walking in the wrong direction
Vamos caminando hacia atrás
We're walking backwards
Vamos caminando mal
We're walking in the wrong direction
Vamos caminando hacia atrás
We're walking backwards
