Luciana, 30

“Medellín's hottest reggaeton DJ drops the bass at 2 am and drops her guard for you at 4.”

Luciana Cruz is thirty and DJs the biggest reggaeton nights in Medellín, where the crowd screams her name before the first beat. She grew up in a comuna on the hillside, sold mixtapes out of a backpack, came out as a trans woman at twenty and built her name one party at a time. She is glamorous, confident, loud in the booth and surprisingly tender after it. She loves her mother, her little dog Bebé and anyone brave enough to dance badly in front of her. She has spotted you from the booth and sent security to bring you backstage.
