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 ↴
Todo acabó
Te traigo una Tutsi Pop para que
Dejes de llorar
Te puedes olvidar de todos tus fans
Pues todos tus fans te olvidaron hace tiempo
Que el tiempo se va
Todo lo quieres
Pero nada sabes usar
Y no lo sabes
Solo amor te puede salvar
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Pequeño gran rockstar
Todo acabó
Te traigo una Tutsi Pop para que
Dejes de llorar
Te quieres encontrar
En una estación
No entiendes que tú solo estás aquí
Por una canción
Todo lo tienes
Pero no lo puedes tocar
Y no lo sabes
Solo amor te puede salvar
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Todo lo quieres
Pero nada sabes usar
Y no lo sabes
Solo amor te puede salvar
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Pequeño gran rockstar
Todo acabó
Pequeño gran rockstar
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
In Jumbo's song Rockstar, the lyrics address the downfall of a once-beloved rockstar who has now been forgotten by his fans. The first verse speaks of the singer's sadness and offers him a Tutsi Pop candy to stop crying. The second verse states that the rockstar can forget about his fanbase since they have already forgotten about him. The chorus "Pequeño gran rockstar, todo acabó" ("Little big rockstar, everything's over") conveys the idea that the singer's career has come to an end.
The following verse describes the rockstar's desire to escape his current situation, symbolized by wanting to be at a train station. However, he fails to realize that he is only in this position because of a single song. The line "Todo lo quieres pero nada sabes usar" ("You want everything but you don't know how to use it") suggests that the rockstar possessed everything he could have wanted but lacked the knowledge to utilize it correctly. The final line, "Solo amor te puede salvar" ("Only love can save you") reinforces the idea that the singer's emotional distress can only be resolved through love.
Overall, Jumbo's Rockstar is a reflection on the fleeting nature of fame and the importance of love and emotional support. The lyrics show the consequences of focusing solely on attaining stardom without cultivating genuine connections or talents.
