Tacabro is an Italian dance music trio from Catania, Sicily,[1] initially made up of Italian DJs and record producers Mario Romano and Salvatore "Salvo" Sapienza, and later also of Cuban singer Martínez Rodríguez, better known as Ruly MC.

Mario Romano (born 28 November 1984) and Salvo Sapienza (born 21 February 1986) started working in Italian nightclubs as DJs, and in the spring of 2008 they formed the duo known as Romano & Sapienza, playing mostly electro/tribal sounds. Their first break as Romano & Sapienza was with their first single "Judas Brass", released that year for "Hollister Records".

However they are best known for the hit "Tacata'", released in 2011 in Italy and credited to "Romano & Sapienza featuring Rodriguez", the latter being Cuban rapper Ruly MC, mentioned before. Based on this success, the single was released the next year with a new music video under the name "Tacabro", becoming a hit in Denmark where it reached #1, in France where it reached #6 and in Sweden.

According to PROMUSICAE, the publisher of the Official Spanish Singles and Albums Charts, "Rayos de Sol" was the seventh biggest selling single in Spain in 2012.[2]

In 2015, Mario Romano collaborated with American singer-songwriter Liza Fox and DJ "Jus Grata" on the single "Unlimited".
