1) Luciano (real name Patrick Großmann; born January 28, 1994 in Bautzen) is a German rapper from Berlin.

The son of a Mozambican father and a German mother, Luciano grew up mostly in the Schöneberg district of Berlin. He is a member of the rap crew Loco Squad Gang.

In 2020, Luciano was one of the first high-reach German-language rappers to release music in the internationally successful UK Drill style.

2. Luciano (born Jepther McClymont on October 20, 1964) is a Jamaican Roots Reggae artist. He first begun recording in 1992 under his first name Luciana, with his debut single "Ebony & Ivory" on the Aquarius Record label and followed with his debut album 'Moving Up' for RAS records in 1993. Luciano is the seventh of nine children and was born to extremely spiritual and musical parents while growing up in Daveyton, a small district in the central parish of Manchester, Jamaica.

2) Luciano, born in 1978 in Chile and raised in Switzerland. Started DJing in 1993 and producing electronic music since 1997. In the mid-90's, he was promoting Sense Club and Encuentros con la Technocultura in Santiago de Chile in the company of many initiators of the Latin American electronic music scene: Señor Coconut AKA Atom Heart, Ricardo Villalobos, Pier Bucci, Dandy Jack, Adrian Schopf, Washington Miranda, Argenix Brito, Microman, etc.

Luciano left Chile at 21 and moved to Europe (2000), settling in Geneva (Switzerland) to launch Mental Groove Records and holding a residency at the Weetamix club. He gradually invaded the inner reaches of electronic culture, forming a partnership with Ibiza’s most notorious underground club, Circoloco at DC10, which gave Luciano a perfect platform and a passionate audience for his irresistible, mind-altering blend of barebones techno and hot-blooded Latin rhythms. His releases appear on the Transmat, Perlon, Lo-Fi Stereo, Bruchstuecke and Klang Elektronik record labels.

Luciano's mixed Swiss & Chilean identity shows in his music, a somewhat mystical blend of deep techno & electro that integrates southern elements in rhythms and colourful patterns in sound. His collaborations with Ricardo Villalobos (Playhouse, Perlon, Warp, Force Inc etc.) as Sense Club are especially rewarding, as is his partnership with Pier Bucci and Argenix Brito as Monne Automne.

Mellowing his style as times goes by, getting more experimental and spacey with a fresh style of his own, Luciano’s production is destined to the wiser dancefloors.

Call on Yahweh

Oh Jah the wicked
Are upon I and I in their multitude
(wicked are on upon I till I die livin on I and I)
Tryin to conquer I and I leading us to all supplications

Yes I call on Jah (Jah) to raise I and I to ‘geddon
And I hail for I (Rastafari) defend I and I against babylon
Yes I call on Jah (Jah) to raise I and I to ‘geddon

And I hail for I (Rastafari) defend I and I against the wicked one

Jah send Moses and Aaron to take I and I to the promise land
Who send Joshau who is the son of Nun
who brought I and I to cross river Jordan
Though the Amorites, the Hittites (Hittites) and the Canaanite
And Perizzites all try to fight against the Israelites
Jah gave us victory before the day light

Cos' we call on Jah (Jah) to redeem I and I inna ‘geddon
And I hail for I (Rastafari) defend I and I against babylon
Yes I call on Jah (Jah) to raise I and I to ‘geddon
And I hail for I (Rastafari) defend I and I against the wicked one

We will conquer and take over the land that was promise
To our fathers we will share equally among our families
From Israel straight to Utopia
callin upon all the Ipioshite (Ipioshite)
All you Nazzerites oh Israelites come along and let us rectify
Let us rise and take our God given rights

Cos' we call on Jah (Jah) to redeem I and I inna ‘geddon
And I hail for I (Rastafari) defend I and I against babylon
Yes I call on Jah (Jah) to raise I and I to ‘geddon
And I hail for I (Rastafari) defend I and I against the wicked man

(deliver I and I oh Jah) I see the heathen and the rage
I still image vain things sit before kings
(deliver us from internal war) of the earth
Set themselves the rulers of the earth conjugate against the Lord
Against His anointed saints come over to break their asunder
And cast away the hands (free up
israelites from the hands of the wicked)
For I Ver .Jah will deliver I and I Rastafari

Yes' we call on Jah (Jah) to redeem I and I inna ‘geddon
And I hail for I (Rastafari) defend I and I
against babylon (Hail Emperor Haile Selassie)
Yes I call on Jah (Jah) to raise I and I to ‘geddon

And I hail for I (Rastafari) defend I and I against the wicked man

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Luciano's song "Call On Yahweh" express his trust in Jah (God) to protect him and his people from the many wicked forces that seek to conquer them. He sees historical examples of Jah’s intervention on behalf of His people, and is convinced that Jah will again deliver them in the present. Luciano calls upon Rastafari, a cultural movement that reveres Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia as the incarnation of Jah, to defend them against the oppressive forces of Babylon (a symbol of oppressive power).

The first verse describes the wicked forces surrounding the singer, and their goal to conquer and subjugate them. However, the singer is not despairing, for he calls amongst the name of Jah (Jah being a term used by Rastafarians to refer to God) to protect and deliver them. The singer compares his present situation to the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites in ancient times, wherein they too faced great opposition, but through Jah's intervention, they emerged victorious.

The second half of the song then shifts to an exhortation to the Rastafarian community to stand and reclaim the promised land. Luciano invites fellow Rastafarians to unite and collectively claim control over their God-given rights, from Israel straight to Utopia. The song ends with repeated calls to Jah to redeem and defend the singer and his people, together with a call to Rastafari to defend against Babylon and the wicked man.
