Toni Esposito

Tony Esposito (born 15 July 1950, Naples, Italy) is an Italian musician and drummer. His music is inspired by acoustics coming from several countries of the world, mixed with tribal rhythms and typical melodies of the Neapolitan music. The originality of his musical approach is evident in the invention of unique instruments as the "Tamborder", onomatopoeic sound of one of his most famous pieces, Kalimba de Luna, of which Boney M. published an English cover of the same time.
