Tony Tammaro

voc, *1961 IT
Singer / Songwriter of Pop and World

Tony Tammaro, stage name of Vincenzo Sarnelli, (born January 7, 1961 in Naples) is an Italian parody singer/songwriter. The main theme of Tammaro's lyrics are "tamarri", a term taken form Neapolitan dialect, which indicates someone who's vulgar, miseducated, and often boasting a flourishing behaviour. The term could also be translated as "rednecks", to indicate its derogatory nature; however it presents no connections with the original term in regards of its rural background. In his songs, Tammaro uses irony to describe the "tamarri", from which his own stage name is derived.
