1) Luciano (real name… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
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.

Latein uljha ke
Haath jiya pe mal-mal
Tere chhajje ke, neeche hi khade hain
Phans gaye, jaise dal-dal
Tere chhajje ke, neeche hi khade hain
Phans gaye, jaise dal-dal
Gulabo zara itr gira do
Hey
Naino ka nishaana, mujh pe laga ke
Goli chalaaye, dhaayein dhaayein
Jhootha fasana mujhko suna ke,
Jaal bichaaye why why
Jhootha fasana mujhko suna ke,
Jaal bichaaye, why why
Gulaabo zara itr gira do
Gulaabo zara itr gira do
Tauba tauba,
Tu toh meetha sa murabba
Tauba tauba,
Tu toh shehad ka dabba
Bhen ki takki, oye
Wow so lucky, hoye
Sab ki daim hai, aur tu bole dhappa
Cocktail menu me bas tera naam, in the bar
Poster chap gaye nikle, ishtehaar
Abki baar, hoye
Teri sarkaar, hoye
Chipak chipak lets kiss you pooh in the car
Chal nawabi, haal sharabi
Dhutt nashe mein choor choor
Yunhi honth lag ja, ghat se pee loon haan.
Oye patakha, kar dhamaka
Be-khabar yun ghoom, ghoom rahi
Mere sang tu, chal zara si haan.
Gulaabo zara gand faila do
Gulaabo zara gand faila do
Surma laga ke,
Latein uljha ke
Haath jiya pe mal-mal
Tere chhajje ke, neeche hi khade hain
Phans gaye, jaise dal-dal
Oye
Tere chhajje ke, neeche hi khade hain
Phans gaye, jaise dal-dal
Gulabo. zara gand faila do
Gulabo. zara gand faila do
The lyrics of Luciano's song "Ulterior Motive" are a mixture of Hindi, Punjabi and English language that narrate a playful love story where the singer is entangled in a romantic complication, unaware of the true intentions of his partner. The first two lines mean, "After applying kohl in my eyes, I mixed up the letters and got my hands in my heart. Standing below your balcony, I am stuck like a creeper." The singer is trying to express his love in a traditional way by singing below his lover's balcony, but he is not sure if his feelings are reciprocated or not.
The chorus of the song, "Gulabo zara itr gira do", translates to "Gulabo, sprinkle some fragrance". The singer is requesting his lover to add some spice to the love story and make it more interesting. The next set of lines, "You aimed at me and shot, with your eyes, a bullet. Lied to me with made-up stories and laid traps for me, why?" depicts the suspicion and doubt that the singer is feeling. He is not sure if his love interest is genuine or has ulterior motives.
In the following stanza, the singer uses colloquial terms like "Bhen ki takki" and "dabba" to describe his partner's sweetness. He then goes on to describe how lucky he feels to have her love. The line "Chipak chipak let's kiss you pooh in the car" is suggestive of a playful, romantic mood. The song concludes with the singer requesting his lover to come down and join him, with the line "Gulaabo zara gand faila do", meaning "Gulabo, come down and spread your charm."
