Reggae Saturday w/ Luciano and Hella Mendocino

When you say the phrase "reggae," certain names come to mind, such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Third World, to name a few, Luciano, on the other hand, is a popular musician. Since then, he has reigned as the "King of Conscious Reggae Music" and is now one of the most recognizable figures in roots reggae today.

Luciano joined the reggae scene in the early 1990s and eventually collaborated with Phillip 'Fattis' Burrell, one of the few producers at the time that backed conscious roots music. Chris eventually signed Luciano, and their cooperation resulted in a streak of #1 songs, including an album ranked among the best 30 reggae albums of all time by Mojo magazine.

In addition to Bob Marley, other early inspirations included Stevie Wonder and country and western vocalist Hank Williams, which explains his exceptional vocal flexibility. He was nicknamed "Luciano" after the all-powerful vocals of opera superstar Luciano Pavarotti because his voice resonates with flawless inflection, tone, range, and pitch. He then discovered that the word Luciano means 'light', which he intends to share with his many supporters.

Luciano communicates with his audiences like no other, giving him the undeniable label of "The Messenjah" as he continues to share the message of love, boost spirits, and excite his many followers worldwide.

Hella Mendocino is a Reggae Fusion band from Ukiah, California, renowned for their ability to seamlessly blend multiple genres. Their music is a rich tapestry woven with classic guitar riffs, reggae rhythms, cumbia’s infectious grooves, and soulful rap. Embark on a Peaceful & Diverse Musical Journey.
