JoMo – Toulouse (Occitania/France)
JoMo (Jean-Marc Leclercq) began his musical career in 1977 (Caniveau, Les Diam's, Queen Bees, etc...), and learned Esperanto in 1988.
It wastherefore perfectly natural for him to write and sing in the International Language.
He created his own band, The Rosemary's Babies, which became famous in the French alternative rock world in the early 90's. The band toured in different countries, including China, produced two albums, and even played in the coveted Paris music hall Olympia.
After the Babies split up, JoMo created a new band, Libertarios, with which he recorded a libertarian album with seven titles at Vinilkosmo, and broke the world record for multilingual concerts (22 songs in 22 languages) that appeared in the Guiness Book of Records in 2000.
Afterwards, and in solo, he recorded an entire album in Esperanto entitled JoMo friponas ! (JoMo is tricky !) in Vinilkosmo's brand new studio in 2001.
The following record, jOmO slavumas, appeared in the spring of 2006 with many Slav-styled musicians that JoMo plays with.
He continues to concert in Esperanto and multilingually, in solo with his guitar, singing joyous and toe-tapping songs.
Aside from music, he has published a conversational primer on the Gascon language at a famous French publishing house.
In May 2006 appeared his first novel, "Ucraina", in the Occitan language, and for which he received a literary award.
