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
Estampida
Jumbo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A lo lejos ya se puede escuchar cómo tiembla el camino
Un millón de pixeles no pueden esta mal lo veo de nuevo
Me di cuenta que no somos invencibles, platicando con Dios
En la confusiòn es muy fácil caer y muerdes el polvo
Histeria colectiva y piensas que todo està bien ya lo vemos venir,
Pensaría una multitud no puede estar mal, enorme equivocación,
Y dentro del tumulto nadie sabe como va a terminar, se lo imaginan
Y no dejas de pensar que todo volverá a pasar (coro3x)
The lyrics of Jumbo's song "Estampida" depict a sense of impending doom, conveyed through powerful imagery and emotive language. The opening lyrics set the scene for a bleak future, with the sun rising only to reveal the "sad destiny" that awaits. The verse goes on to describe the tremors of a path in the distance, giving the impression of an unstoppable force approaching. The use of technology is then introduced with the line "a million pixels can't be wrong, I see it again," suggesting an overwhelming sense of doom that can't be ignored.
The song continues to detail the impact of the approaching catastrophe on the collective mentality, with the idea of hysteria and falling victim to confusion and panic. The chorus further emphasizes the idea of a stampede, and the inability to control or follow it. The final verse suggests that despite the danger and uncertainty, there is a belief that history will repeat itself, and there is comfort in that familiarity.
The song masterfully combines musical elements with powerful lyrics to paint a vivid picture for the listener. The use of strong language and poetic metaphors, such as "muerdes el polvo" (bite the dust) and "estampida al vacío" (stampede into the void), create a sense of urgency and danger. The use of repetition in the chorus and bridge reinforces the message, and the driving beat builds to create a sense of chaos.

Para mi todos los Discos de Jumbo me encantan, por algo me gusta Jumbo... ¿No creen?
Coincido con la costumbre que tienen de que al final de cada disco ponen una canción algo melancólica, eso te hace quedarte picado y ponerte a reflexionar en tantas cosas que nos pasan... Juegan bien con nuestras emociones.
@alejandromejiaangeles2701
Esta es su rola más emblemática que se maneja en una fantasía y una melancolía a la vez y ahí, como espectadores (escuchas) viajamos y tergiversamos el destino...
@huellitasstereo9181
Aterrizaje forzoso en la suerficie para poder volver a retomar el vuelo y redirigir mi destino. Siempre tendras una ultima oportunidad.
@josemellado7811
Su costumbre de meter al final una canción medio melancólica, lo mejor.
@yvyvyvy9640

@monocdm
lo que nunca entendere es por que a mucha gente no le gusto este album si a simple vista se ve que a todas las rolas les metierom mas empeño que alos discos anteriores y todos prefieren el restaurant
