TAIYO

Taiyo is the debut studio album by Spanish Europop group Locomía. The formation consisted of four members: Xavier Font, Juan Antonio Fuentes, Carlos Armas and Manuel Arjona. The word that gives the title its name means "sun" in Japanese. Its music incorporates the pop music that was successful at the time in Europe with Latin rhythms. To promote it, three singles were released: "Locomía", "Taiyo" and "Rumba Mambo", Which were performed in several TV shows, and to each one was recorded a music video in which their androgynous clothing stood out: shoes 1700s style, exaggerated shoulder pads and giant hand fans. It was commercially successful, and went gold and platinum in ten countries, most of them in Latin America, and sales reached 1 million copies worldwide, making it the best seller of their career.
