Negrocan

**Negrocan** is an Italian electronic music project known for blending Latin grooves, Afrobeat rhythms, and house vibes into a vibrant global sound. Formed in the late '90s by legendary DJ/producer Claudio Coccoluto and Italian music icon Jovanotti (Lorenzo Cherubini), the group became a colorful collision of club-ready beats and worldly influences. Their 1998 self-titled debut album, *Negrocan*, introduced their signature style, with the infectious single "Cada Vez" becoming a dancefloor staple and earning endless remixes over the years (including the recent "BK Duke & Bootmasters Remix" and "Ultimate Mix Collection" versions).

While Coccoluto and Jovanotti spearheaded the project, Negrocan often collaborated with artists like bassist Saturnino, creating a rotating collective vibe. Tracks like "Bem Bem Maria" and "Nomadic" showcase their knack for merging salsa percussion, funky basslines, and electronic textures. Though not consistently active, Negrocan’s music remains a go-to for DJs and fans of sun-soaked, genre-blurring grooves, with releases like *Medio Mundo* and *Global Warming* keeping their global party spirit alive. Their catalog feels like a passport to a sweaty, joyous dancefloor where borders don’t exist.
