The 90s witnessed excesses and at the epicenter of that extravagance was Locomía, the electro dance group born in Ibiza at the end of the 80s that conquered Latin America. Now, the bizarre story of his rise and decline hits theaters this Friday in ‘Disco, Ibiza, Locomía’a film directed by Kike Mailo and starring Blanca Suárez and Jaime Lorente.

The film offers an intimate look at the life behind the fans and choreography, exploring the meteoric rise and impact on pop culture through testimonies from the group’s own members and those who witnessed their explosion on the music scene. . However, Mailo warns about the difficulties of portray living personalitiesbecause “there are still very open rough edges and tensions between them.”

Blanca Suárez, who plays Lurdes Iríbar, reflects on the challenges of excessive fame: “When such great fame consumes you, you run the risk of diluting yourself, of your essence being lost and you becoming what you have been created from outside” , while Jaime Lorenteplaying Xavi Font, shares his own doubts and fears about the role, “at first I didn’t see myself as the best option”, since Locomía had a great impact on his character “it is an issue that continues to affect him very intense and has a slightly altered memory of everything that happened,” he says.

‘Disco, Ibiza, Locomía’ promises to be a rollercoaster of emotions, combining tragicomedy with moments of pure fun and nostalgia. As Mailo said in EFE, “we are not paying tribute to Locomía nor do we intend to explain the benefits of its music”, but rather to offer a free and emotional look at its history, “It is not ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ nor Locomía son Queenwe aspired to have more freedom than the creators of other biopics.
