Gianluigi Cavallo (born 9 August 1968 in Parma, Italy) is an Italian singer, guitarist, composer, system integrator and programmer. He played in the band Litfiba from 1999 to 2006.[1]
While working as programmer, following his passion for music, Gianluigi Cavallo performed as DJ in different independent radios, becoming a valued singer in some of them. The nickname "Cabo" is a contraction from the Spanish form of his surname (Caballo).[2] His record debut was in 1994 with the mix 12" Brooklyn in which there were three different versions of "Cavalcamix", a sort of electrodance medley of '50s rock music.[3] Some months later he produced a new mix 12" called "Indyana" with the dance piece A say baby, a revisitation of a riff from the song Black Betty by Ram Jam.[4]
