Frédéric Galliano and Kuduro Sound System

From Angola, France

Born in Valence in the south of France in 1969, Frédéric Galliano developed a great passion for music in his teens. The young music fan quickly acquired a range of eclectic tastes, spanning everything from French chanson, Latino sounds and jazz to Kraftwerk's first electro experiments in the late 70s. Young Fred soon began to study music in earnest, learning to play piano and drums and, at the same time, acquiring practical experience of African and Middle Eastern music. Fired by a natural curiosity, Fred was soon delving into a wide range of different musical cultures. And when he later became involved with the French electro scene this gave him a radically different style from his colleagues. Fred actually began his career as an art student, spending five years studying sculpture at the «Beaux-Arts» in Valence (1987 -1991). But he was bitten by the music bug in 1994, when he stepped in to replace a friend on the turntables of a local disco and discovered the joys of DJ-ing. With his extensive music knowledge, Fred soon went on to make a name for himself on the burgeoning French electro scene while continuing his sculpture activities in his spare time. DJ-ing regularly at bars, festivals and clubs, Fred got dancefloors grooving to his garage mix - but his tastes were too eclectic for him to stay confined to this one style for long!
