Get ready to groove with DJ Yano (Luciano Gaggia), one of Italy's most iconic and enduring DJs and producers in the Afro and Cosmic alternative music scene. This unique genre originated and flourished in Northern Italian clubs starting in the 1980s. DJ Yano is a true pioneer, considered a pillar of the Italian Afro scene alongside legendary colleagues like DJ Baldelli and DJ Mozart. His DJ sets are a vibrant fusion of world music, tribal African percussion, electronic beats, reggae, and abstract, psychedelic sounds. Known for his high-energy live performances, often featuring live percussionists and impressive stage setups (like the famous "Yano Music Machine"), he's also behind dozens of successful compilations, including the cult-favorite Afro Project series, a must-have for vinyl collectors. Even today, DJ Yano continues to draw thousands of fans of all ages to clubs and outdoor festivals across Northern Italy.
