"if liberty means always being hungry, makes me think we d be better with the flag still red" - The Scum of Toytown
DJ Luna Morado – Latin underground
(latin reggae rude ska fiesta)
I was born in 1981 in Slavonski Brod (Croatia). One period of my life I lived in Ljubljana (Slovenia) where I was introduced to subcultural scene of Metelkova, which permanently directed me towards the underground.
In 1999 I moved to Rijeka/Fiume (Croatia), where I was one of resident DJs in MMC Palach from 2002 to 2005 (Sunday - sunny day for reggae & ska party, which I later changed into In a rumba dub style).
My musical expression is multicultural ska and reggae (with punky roots), consisting mainly of spanish/latin and french bands. Depending on the situation, my DJ set can include variety of dub, flamenco, cumbia, salsa, rumba, gypsy music... - and also oi! punk and G.G. Allin, who is very special to me.
In the begining, my biggest influence were The Scum of Toytown and also The Specials, Bad Manners, Skinnerbox, Dr Ring Ding and Fermin Muguruza (basque freedom fighter - ex-Negu Gorriak, ex-Kortatu). After I heard compilation Fuerza!, my musical preference number one became latin underground. I called it Hispano underground and wrote about it in the first five numbers of Val, youth culture paper in Rijeka/Fiume, which was published in 2004/2005. This musical style is also called musica mestiza and could also be called Manu Chao and compañeros, although this latter term seems uncomplete.
From May, 2007 I m a member of the punky reggae band Aggressive Snail Attack (back vocals and effects).
