Luís Filipe Fraga Oliveira (European Portuguese pronunciation: [luˈiʃ fɨˈlipɨ ˈfɾaɣɐ ɔliˈvɐjɾɐ]; born 27 May 1983),[1] better known by his stage name Lucenzo (pronounced [luˈsẽzu]), is a Portuguese-French reggaeton singer, songwriter, rapper and record producer. He has been signed with the Universal Music record label for most of his career, and is best known for his dance hit with rapper Big Ali, "Vem dançar Kuduro". Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Don Omar released a Spanish/Portuguese version of the song under the title "Danza Kuduro" with Lucenzo.

Early years

[edit | edit source]

Lucenzo was born in Bordeaux, Aquitaine, to Portuguese parents with origins in the village of Vilas Boas, Bragança. He began his career in hip-hop bands such as Sol da Noite and Les Portuguais de Bordeaux (French for "the Portuguese from Bordeaux") in 1998, and recorded his first album, which was never marketed due to financial reasons. In 2006, he released "Portugal é Nossa Terra" with DJ Lusitano, and thus he became popular in Portuguese music.

Career

[edit | edit source]

Lucenzo released his debut single in 2008, a Portuguese/multilingual reggae/reggaeton song entitled "Emigrante del mundo".[2] Signed to Scopio Music, the song became a Portuguese radio hit. It was followed in 2009 by "Dame reggaeton".[3] But it was with his bilingual English/Portuguese dance hit "Vem Dançar Kuduro"[4] in collaboration with Big Ali produced by Lucenzo. It was a Top 40 hit in Switzerland, reaching #31. An alternative Spanish version by Don Omar with Lucenzo was released on 15 August 2010, entitled "Danza Kuduro". The accompanying music video was released on 17 August 2010.[5] It is also featured on Don Omar's compilation album Meet the Orphans.[6]

On July 1, 2015, Lucenzo released a new song "Vida Louca" in Portuguese and reserved to the Lusophone marker. It was part of a series of compilations VIDISCO and available on iTunes Portugal. At the end of July 2015, Lucenzo started promoting his single in Portugal and was invited to several televisions including SIC, RTP, TVi giving interviews where he explained that he wanted to book the premiere of his new work in Portugal before presenting it internationally in Spanish.

Notes

[edit | edit source]
