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 ↴
Ya no vas a estar y cuando te mueras
Tu supones empezar
Todos creen que saben cuando
Se va a terminar y que el dolor
Se convierta en flor mientras piensas
En estar y no estas en paz
Nova nova nova nova nova
No va a terminar
Nova nova nova
No va a terminar
Dame lo mismo que se repita una y otra vez
Como si fueras a no querer volverme a ver
Volverme a ver
Nova nova nova nova nova
No va a terminar
Nova nova nova
No va a terminar
Nova nova nova nova nova
No va a terminar
Nova nova nova
No va a terminar
Dime lo mismo que se repita
Dime lo mismo
Que se repita una y otra vez
The lyrics to Jumbo's song Nova seem to revolve around the idea of mortality and the fear of losing someone, as well as the idea of repetition and the cyclical nature of life. The first stanza talks about someone who is going to die soon and the uncertainty that death brings, with the idea that they will start over in some way. The second stanza talks about people believing they know when something will end and that eventually pain will turn into something beautiful, but that the person in question is not at peace with this.
The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, features the word "nova" and implies that something is not going to end or that there will be no resolution or closure. The verse following the chorus talks about wanting something to be repeated over and over again, as if the singer is trying to hold onto something they fear losing. The final line of the song simply states "Dime lo mismo que se repita"; "tell me the same thing that repeats", suggesting a desire for comfort or familiarity in the face of uncertainty.
Overall, the song seems to deal with heavy themes of mortality and fear, while also exploring the cyclical nature of life and the idea of repeating patterns. The use of the word "nova" throughout the song could be interpreted in a few different ways, but one possibility could be that the nova represents a burst of light and energy (as in a supernova) that is transient and unpredictable, much like life itself.
