Luis Illescas best known in the music industry as “DJ AFRICA”, was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador. At the age of 13 years & a newcomer to Miami, Luis was attracted by Miami’s different rhythms. He soon adopted the name “Africa” because of the continent that originated all types of rhythms. His unique style of blending music helped open the doors at the radio station “El Zol 95” 95.7 FM Miami. He was given his own mix show along side “El Hombre Gozadera” Julio Jr. Africa was the first Dj who introduced GRUPO AVENTURA with its singles “CUANDO VOLVERAS” & “OBSECION”, and was not wrong to do so. Similarly, when no DJ in the local latin radio stations dared to play the now known hit “CULO” by PITBULL, he did and there was no mistake. He has shared the stage with famous artists such as P. DIDDY, PHARREL WILLIAMS, LIL JHON, PITBULL, DON OMAR, GRUPO AVENTURA, DADDY YANKEE, VICO C, TEGO CALDERON, HECTOR “EL FATHER, ZION, ALEXIS Y FIDO, ARCANGEL, BABY RASTRA, DON DINERO, MAGIC JUAN, GRUPO MANIA, EL GENERAL, ORO SOLIDO, TONO ROSARIO and many more.
