The Tammurriata is the most typical expression of Neapolitan dance and music. The voices of the two singers are raised over the beat of the main instrument: the tammorra, a frame drum with tin cymbals.

The Tammurriata di Scafati has grown around the powerful tenor voice of Nando Citarella and the very popular folk musician Antonio O Lione. It is one of the most active groups during the many traditional festivals going on in the volcano and it often goes on tour around Europe.
