Track "Fiaba Moresca" ( moorish tale)

 

Magnificent tune imo...Magical

 

Guitar - Francesco Bruno

 

 

 

Track "Bancarella" ( market stand)...Something so typical in Naples

 

 

Track "Canzone D'Inverno" ( winter song): Love this one....Great atmosphere....I swear it can be listened to  in every season of the year with no consequences whatsoever....

 

 

Track "L' alba Nei Quartieri" ( dawn in the neighborhoods):  Voice wants to re-create the feel  of one of the many street market vendors namely in Naples where st. markets do take place every day and  in most  city neighborhoods....Actually it's Renato Marengo's voice, a music journalist ( from Naples himself so he has just the right accent...), a friend of Toni

 

 

Album ( Processione Sul Mare)  lineup:

 

Toni Esposito (drums, percussion)

Gigi De Rienzo (bass)

Francesco Bruno (guitar)

Stefano Sabatini (keyboards)

Robert Fix (sax)

There's also (or at least used to) a big US Military Base in Naples ( it's a port city) in the Bagnoli area

From his 1st album "Toni Esposito"

 

The elastic band vendor ..... Showing  Toni's ability especially as a percussionist ....In this track he uses / plays everyday usage tools  ie. pots & pans, bottles, cutlery, glasses etc ...

 

Absolutely awesome imo
