JNS: "In a world increasingly divided between good and evil, the LGBT community represents the struggle for love and respect."

Founded in 1993, JNS are something of the Mexican Spice Girls . With a long string of hits and a musical and aesthetic approach that has captivated audiences in a multitude of countries, they are still going strong thirty years later, overcoming obstacles and line-up changes. After conquering the Spanish public in 2018 with their participation in the Madrid and Barcelona Gay Pride Festivals, where they established themselves as true LGBT+ icons, Angie Taddei, Melissa López, and Regina Murguía arrive in the capital this Saturday as surprise acts at the Love the 90s festival held at Ifema. Additionally, on February 4, 2026, they will return to Madrid to perform at the Movistar Arena, in a show that promises to mark a new chapter in their history with European audiences.

What can your fans expect from your performance this Saturday?

(Melissa) Lots of glitter, lots of sparkle, lots of feathers, lots of partying, lots of happiness. Good vibes, love. We're three authentic women, we've loved what we do since we were little, and we want people to enjoy it as much as we do.

How do you remember your first months at JNS? Would you change anything about those beginnings?

(Melissa) The first few months of JNS, the reunion, were nerve-wracking. We were also scared, not knowing how we'd be received. At first, there were a lot of mixed feelings, but we're so grateful for this second chance. Imagine the first few months of Jeans... the nerves of dreams coming true, so much learning... It's been a spectacular journey, with its complicated moments, but it's been wonderful.

How has JNS evolved with component changes?

(Melissa) There have been many changes, but they've made us grow, mature, and improve. They've taken us out of our comfort zone and made us evolve for the better.

What has been the most difficult thing to manage during your time with JNS?

(Regina) As a group of women in the music industry, the hardest thing to deal with is the insecurity we carry with us since childhood. Whether you're good enough, whether you sing well, whether you dance well, your body, people's judgments... Managing all that information in a way that makes you stronger is complicated. But we think we've achieved it.

Who are your favorite Spanish artists? Which one would be ideal for a collaboration with you?

(Angie) We like a lot of them. We've collaborated with some like Amistades Peligrosas, Marta Sánchez, we love Locomía ... It would be great to do something with Melody, who makes incredible music.

Musically, how would you define JNS's current moment?

(Angie) We are taking care of a very Mexican pop, but with the new songs we are making, we are getting closer to a more current pop, with a more current sound, with a little bit of dance.

How important is aesthetics and body care to you? What exercise and nutrition routines do you follow?

(Angie) What matters to us is our health, both physical and mental. Because if we're healthy, we can have crazy schedules, travel, and perform on stage. If we don't take care of ourselves, nothing works. We maintain a healthy lifestyle, taking care of our diet, but for energy and health more than how we look.

What do you remember most fondly from your trips to Spain?

(Angie) Spain has a very special place in our hearts, because at the beginning of our career, when we were called Jeans, we recorded the albums here, in Majadahonda, with a Spanish producer, José Ramón Flores.

How did you experience your participation in the Madrid and Barcelona Gay Pride Festivals in 2018?

(Angie) We connected with people naturally, even though they didn't know us well. The love and good vibes were palpable, and for us it felt tremendous, a real hug. That convinced us to return to Spain and make ourselves more known.

How did your connection with the LGBT movement begin, and how has it evolved over the years?

(Regina) In a very natural, very genuine way. We've witnessed the evolution of that fight for freedom and equality. We have many similar values, and we identify with the community because it's energetic, passionate, beautiful, and dedicated people. We love them.

How do you see the situation of LGBT rights around the world? Do you think we're taking steps backward, or that at least there's a threat?

(Melissa) We've made giant strides, although there's still much to be done. Today, more than ever, the world is divided between good and evil, but the LGBT community represents the fight for love, authenticity, empathy, and respect.

(Regina) The road isn't easy, but fighting for your rights and who you are will always be applauded. We will always be on the right side of history, we will always support humanity, love, and freedom.
