Antonio dit «Tony» Esposito, né le 16 juillet 1950 à Naples, est un auteur-compositeur-interprète et percussionniste italien. Ses compositions sont inspirées des musiques du monde, mêlées de rythmes africains et de mélodies napolitaines traditionnelles. Il est considéré comme le percussionniste italien le plus connu et comme l'un des fondateurs de la world music. L'originalité de son approche réside dans le recours à des instruments inventés comme le tamborder, un instrument mêlant percussion et électronique, qui rythme l'une de ses plus célèbres chansons, Kalimba de Luna (1984). Tony Esposito a deux sœurs, Anna et Eva Esposito, et un frère, Pasquale Esposito. Il a épousé Eleonora Salvadori. D'abord producteur pour divers labels italiens, Tony Esposito a contribué, tout au long des années 1970, à la rythmique de multiples artistes italiens parmi lesquels Pino Daniele, Edoardo Bennato, Alan Sorrenti, Lucio Dalla, Francesco De Gregori, Gino Paoli, Roberto Vecchioni, Francesco Guccini et Eugenio Bennato. Aux côtés de Tullio De Piscopo, James Senese, Joe Amoruso, Rino Zurzolo et Fabio Forte, il a popularisé le terme de «blues urbain» qui trouve l'une de ses expressions artistiques les plus achevées dans l'album de Pino Daniele Vai mo' de 1981. Depuis les années 1990, Tony Esposito collabore avec d'autres artistes: il faut particulièrement signaler son duo live avec Enrico Capuano mais également ses compositions pour divers musiciens internationaux parmi lesquels: Don Cherry, Paul Buckmaster, Gato Barbieri, Eumir Deodato, Brian Auger, Gilberto Gil, Billy Cobham, Moncada, Gema Quatro, Seydou Kienou, Naná Vasconcelos etc. Ce groupe, comme d'autres de l'arrière-pays napolitain (ceux, par exemple, d’Ernesto Vitolo, Gigi de Rienzo, Robert Fix et Mark Harris), a été considéré pendant des années comme le parrain et la référence de la Napoli-power (le nouveau son du blues-rock urbain, fusion de funky-jazz et de world-ethnique). En 1975, il sort un premier 33-tours solo sous le label Numero Uno: Rosso napoletano; puis un second dès l'année suivante: Processione sul mare; mais c'est la sortie de son troisième album, Gente distratta (1977), qui lui vaut le Prix de la Critique italienne (Premio Critica Italiana della Musica). En 1978 il publie son quatrième 33-tours, La banda del sole (sous label Philips), qui prélude à sa participation au Montreux Jazz Festival avec le groupe jazz-rock italien Perigeo (Tommaso-Biriaco). Deux ans plus tard (1980), il est derechef invité au "Montreux Jazz Festival" avec une nouvelle formation, le Tony Esposito Group. En 1982, il compose le générique Pagaia de l'émission Domenica in (paru sur l'album Tamburo - label Bubble); pour Tony Esposito, c'est le début d'une période faste et la fin des expérimentations tous azimuts: il se consacre à la composition de musiques plus proches des goûts du public. Deux années de suite, il sort le tube de l'été: d'abord Kalimba de luna (sur l'album Il grande esploratore - label Bubble, 1984) qui s'est vendu à plus de 200 000 exemplaires rien qu'en Italie puis As tu às (sur l'album homonyme et le même label, 1985). ...
