Locomia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Locomia was a Spanish pop group popular in the 1980s and 1990s. They combined elements of tropical with British music of the New Wave and New Romantics. Their first hit was the epynonomous "Locomia."
The original members were Javier Font, Manuel Arjona, Gard Paschieer, and Luis Font. In 1987, the latter two were replaced by Juan Antonio Fuentes and Carlos Armas. [1] The band was probably as famous for its costumes as for the music. They often appeared in extravagant outfits that combined Spanish matador pants with frilly jackets done in eigtheenth-century style. Fan-twirling was an important part of both their stage performance and their music videos.
[edit] Controversy
Believed to be a group for the homosexual community, their presentations were banned in several cities in Latin America.
