I'm sure you recognize the joy of discovering fantastic music that you've never heard before. At least I hope you do! And if not, you will... let me explain.
There's a fair chance you have heard of Jumbo: there's Jumbo as in the elephant, Jumbo as in the chain of grocery shops, Jumbo the famous games creator, it's a single by the Dizzy Man's Band, it's even the name of a guitar shape.
...language is irrelevant...
I bet you didn't know though that Jumbo is also the name of an alternative rock band from Monterrey, Mexico that was founded in May of 1997. Why Jumbo the band never reached even the smallest form of fame outside of Latin America is beyond me. I just discovered them today, when all I wanted to do was to see if Jumbo the supermarket sells a certain beer brand that was recommended to me by a friend. True story. The result in the side bar that Qwant (my default search engine) showed was a Wikipedia page, 'Jumbo (band)'. Never one to pass on the chance to discover new music, I clicked the link.
I was pleasantly surprised. It also made clear that the languages we speak are not as relevant as we tend to think; music, after all, is a global language that overcomes any other language barrier that may exist.
'Un Poco Más' is the first song from the album Teleparque. And, although irrelevant, this album also features some English songs.
My personal favourites from Teleparque are:
- En Repetición
- 15 horas
- Instrumental #2
- Atrás
The playlist for Teleparque can be found on YouTube and I urge you to go and listen to it and many more songs from this fine band.
