Tammurriata is the most typical musical tradition of Neapolitan music and dance, as a rule performed at traditional events in the villages below Mount Vesuvius. The music is constructed around beautiful tenors accompanied by big tambourin and tambour.

The Tammurriata dates from pre-christian times as is visible from the famous mosaic taken from the excavations of Pompeii. Originally the tammurriata was performed only as voice and tammora. Tammora is the particular very large tambourine used in the tammurriata. It was later joined by reed flutes similar to the Sardegnian Launedas for melody.

Today the tammurriata is performed on any combination of tammora, accordion, guitar, Jew's harp, putipú, scetavaesé, tricabalache and always castanets used by the dancers or the singers. But the `two indispensable instruments are the tammora and the voice.

  • questo non è un ballo cilentano, ma una tammurriata

  • questa non è una tarantella ma una tammurriata.

    This kind of dance is called "tammurriata", not tarantella
