• They have released 8 albums, including
Locomondo Live!, an album which turned
gold in December 2011. Two of their video clips have received the "Best Alternative Video Clip" award from
Mad-TV Greece (in 2007 and 2010). • Locomondo is the most known Reggae band in Greece, as well as the only Greek group that has recorded in
Jamaica. This happened in 2005, when the band followed an invitation of ex
Skatalites trombonist and
Studio One legend
Vin Gordon to the "island in the sun" and recorded the album "12 meres stin Jamaica" (12 days in Jamaica). The album contained two songs that meant to be great hits in Greece, but also attracted attention beyond the Greek borders. • The first was a reggae cover of the
Rembetiko song
Frangosyriani composed in 1935 by the legendary
Markos Vamvakaris.Taking notice of this interesting musical mixture the German film director, screenwriter and producer of Turkish descent
Fatih Akin included the song in his
Venice Film Festival Special Jury Prize winning film
Soul kitchen in 2009, and used it as the soundtrack for the red carpet event of his film. • The second hit of this album was
Den kani kryo stin Ellada (its not cold in Greece), a hymn to a positive way of thinking. The song's chorus became a slogan in Greece and is considered the band's most known song. • In the next album “Me wanna dance” the band collaborated with Spanish singer
Amparo Sanchez (Amparanoia) in Barcelona and
Natty Bo (Ska Cubano) in Athens. • In 2010 Locomondo recorded "Goal", a romantic song about football, which turned out to be an unofficial soundtrack for the
Greece National Football Team qualifying for the second time in its history in the final phase of the
World Cup. The video clip of the song featured Greece national player
Dimitris Salpingidis who scored the qualifying goal against Ukraine. Although the Greek team disqualified in the first round in South Africa, the band considered it as a strike of luck as Salpingidis scored against Nigeria in the 2nd match, becoming the first player to ever score for Greece in a World Cup final phase. • In 2012 the Italian rap band
Club Dogo released the single titled P.E.S. which was based on Locomondo's song “Pro” and reached platinum. The song became a summer hit in Italy. The album containing the song
P.E.S. became platinum as well. • In 2015 Turkish singer
Ziynet Sali Ziynet Sali releases a Turkish version of Locomondo's song “Magiko Hali” which achieves respectable success . • In 2017 Locomondo collaborate with Spanish singer-songwriter
Tonino Carotone and release the song "La Mulata". A song that Locomondo frontman, Markos Koumaris, and Tonino Carotone co-wrote. • In 2019 Vinyl Is Back chooses to record Locomondo live at one of their shows to later release a collectable vinyl record titled "Vinyl Is Back Live Sessions Vol.2". On the same year, the band releases two albums at the same time. The album "Star" in their homeland Greece and the album "Radio" in Germany. Both albums have a very similar track list. The band's summer tour of 2019 was the most successful in their history. • In March 2020 the band performed on a well known Greek show named
