Me Wanna Dance (Video clip)

The story so far...

Locomondo is a 7 member band based in Athens, Greece. It is the first band which fused the Caribbean sound together with Greek musical elements and Greek lyrics. Locomondo often incorporate traditional greek instruments in their sound such as the violin, the gaida (the Greek version of the bagpipes) and the baglama, producing a fresh sound and a new approach to the already known forms of the Caribbean as well as the Greek music.

Since 2004, they have released 3 albums and have toured extensively in Greece, Germany and the Netherlands with great success. During the course of these four years, they have shared the stage with bands such as the legendary Skatalites, Chumbawamba, Alpha Blondie, Ojos de Brujo, the Wailers, Aswad and Ska Cubano among others. They have collaborated with Amparo Sanchez from Amparanoia and Natty Bo from Ska Cubano on their latest record “Me Wanna Dance” and have participated on the single of the German group Beat n’ Blow “Hey Girl (Greek version)” which received ample airplay on Funkhaus Europa and Radio Multiculti. Vin Gordon, the veteran trombonist of Studio One, the world famous Jamaican studio, has participated in their second album, which was recorded in Jamaica in 2005.

Locomondo have entered the charts of Radio France Internationale with one of the songs of their first album “stin Athina”, been reviewed for one of their German gigs in Cologne by the reggae magazine "Riddim", and have been part of the “Radio Chango” family since 2007.

In their live shows, Locomondo try to capture the energy and the feel of a party, where the crowd and the band share the common experience of a great “fiesta”. Many of their songs have been big hits in Greece.

Lately, Locomondo have written the music for the film “To gamilio party (The wedding party)”, which was directed by Christine Crokos, an upcoming Greek-American director. The soundtrack of this film, which is the latest recording of the band, was released in January 2008.
