“Reissue of the legendary fanzine Rockocó, in which the photographer Miguel Trillo recorded the different urban tribes in which the Madrid youth attending concerts and other social gatherings between 1980 and 1984 gathered: mods, punks, techno lovers, modern, sinister, new romantics, rockers, teddy boys or heavies.

On the occasion of the reissue, which includes an exact replica of the six original issues, a new volume of the fanzine has been prepared with images by Trillo of young people from various parts of Spain taken between 2000 and 2016 to reflect what the already mythical fanzine Rockocó at the present time.

Rockocó, defined by its author as “A silent homage to lives steeped in the music of their time”, was a handmade photographic fanzine edited in stapled photocopies and with a variable print run that was distributed in record stores, concert halls and in the Trail of Madrid. The public presentation of the fanzine under the name of Miguel Trillo took place at the Discoplay Fanzine Fair in March 1984. Until then, having no ISBN or legal deposit, Rockocó had always appeared as the work of an anonymous collective”.
