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...", "AquÃ" and "FotografÃa", 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 ↴
Sigues corriendo sin parar
Sintonizar mientras hablamos es tan despacio todo, siempre buscamos explotar.
Aunque me digas que nunca escuchan, no es imposible gritar
Nunca hay reacciones si no se buscan, no es imposible gritar
Para cambiar es tan difÃcil, sigo buscando el modo de sonreÃr al regresar
Y sin correr el tiempo espera sin aburrirnos tanto sigo soñando que estás bien
Aunque me quema por dentro estoy quemando el tiempo para esperar que
The lyrics of Jumbo's song "Sintonizando" describe the frustration of trying to communicate with someone who seems distant and unresponsive. The singer is calling out to this person, shouting and trying to get their attention, but they continue to run away without stopping. The act of "sintonizar" or tuning in becomes a slow, tedious process, as they struggle to connect with someone who doesn't seem to want to listen.
Despite the difficulties, the singer hasn't given up hope. They understand that it's not impossible to get through to this person, but it may require more effort and persistence than they initially expected. In order to change things, they must find a way to overcome the challenges and continue to push for a positive outcome. Time may be passing slowly, but the singer is willing to wait and hold on to the dream that things will eventually improve.
Overall, "Sintonizando" is a powerful reminder of the importance of communication and the need for perseverance in relationships. The lyrics speak to anyone who has experienced the frustration of feeling unheard or unnoticed, and encourages them to keep trying despite the obstacles.
