Lucenzo

Baila Morena

Celebration

Filipe Oliveira (born 27 May 1983 in Paris, France), commonly known by his stage name Lucenzo, is a Portuguese-French singer, songwriter, and producer. His parents emigrated to France from Bragança, north of Portugal. Lucenzo signed with the Universal Music record label.

He is best known for his recent dance hit "Vem dançar kuduro" featuring Big Ali. Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Don Omar released a Spanish/Portuguese version of the song under the title "Danza Kuduro" with Lucenzo.

Lucenzo released his debut single in 2008, a Portuguese/multilingual reggae/reggaeton song entitled "Emigrante del mundo". Signed to Scopio Music, the song became a Portuguese radio hit. It reached #1 on Radio Latina and stayed in the Top Five on the station for 42 weeks. It was followed in 2009 by "Dame reggaeton", which also became a #1, as well on Radio Latina.

BUT it was with his bilingual English/Portuguese dance hit "Vem dançar kuduro"[5] in collaboration with Big Ali produced by music producer Faouze Barkati, a childhood friend and working for Yanis Records France, who had introduced him to the kuduro dance music that he found big success in Europe, kuduro being originally an Angolan type of music popular in Portugal. The single reached #2 in the Portuguese Top 50 charts (based solely on actual sales of singles) and #1 on the Portuguese Club 40 charts (based on actual plays in 80 discos in Portugal). It was also 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.[6] It is also featured on Don Omar's compilation album Meet the Orphans.[7]
