Locomía

Locomía 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 eponymous "Locomia".

The original members were Xavier Font, Manuel Arjona, Gard Paschieer, and Luis Font. In 1987, the latter two were replaced by Juan Antonio Fuentes and Carlos Armas. [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll] 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 eighteenth-century style. Fan-twirling was an important part of both their stage performance and their music videos.

Discography

*"Locomia" (1988)
*"Locovox" (1991)

Their first album was recorded in Japan and that is the reason why it was entitled "TAIYO" which means sun in Japanese. They also made a tour in Japan and the Japanese hardly believed they were from Spain.There even is an official website in both English and Spanish.
