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.

Guess What
Luciano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

See that broken hearted man
Toiling in the burning sun
Disappointed African
Doesn't even over stand

After so many years of sweat and tears
Still he's living in fear
Wondering if and when

He's gonna have his share

Well, guess what's happening
A new day's dawning
See the black son's rising
Soon he will be free

See that poor disgruntled youth
Trying his best to know the truth
Why his ancestors have died
From those all who robbed and ruled

So many years of blood and stain
Still he's working in vain
Wondering if and when
He'll ever have his share

Well, guess what's happening
A new day's dawning
I see a new horizon
Soon he will be free

How could life be so unfair
He wonders how some get out there
Sitting in their rocking chair
While he's living in despair

After so many years of sweat and tears
Still he's living in fear
Wondering if and when
He's gonna have his share

Guess what's happening
I see a new day's dawning
I see the table is turning
Soon he will be free, yo, ho, ho

Guess what's happening
A new day's dawning
I see the table is turning
Soon he will be free, yo, ho, ho

Guess what's happening
I see the table is turning
See a new horizon
Soon he will be free

Guess what's happening
I see a new day's dawning
