Jumbo is a name that has been used more than once.(1) is a musical group from Monterrey, Mexico. (2) was an Italian progressive rock band of the 70s. (3) Late 90’s indie group from Newcastle, UK. (4) Late 80’s Japanese band

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.”

    Que alguien haga algo por favor, qué vergüenza que aparezca esta banda en mi biblioteca cuando los que quise agregar eran los Jumbo italianos. Deben crearse dos perfiles distintos para que no se cometan errores crasos como éste. Concordo con quelli che hanno detto che i Jumbo sono gli italiani, la band messicana non c'entra qui; non possiamo parangonare una goccia d'acqua col mare intero.
