On Sunday, July 9th, at 9:00 PM, the percussionist Tony Esposito presented his “Tribal Classic” show in the courtyard of Palazzo Platamone as part of the annual Catania Summer Fest, sponsored by the Municipality of Catania. “Tribal Classic” is an international project that explores the heritage of classical music through a process of rhythmic reconstruction. The performance was a harmonious blend of two rich cultures – the rhythmic world of Tony Esposito’s percussion and the classical music played by the brass quintet of the Haffner Orchestra. A captivating dance performance accompanied the show. Tony Esposito, renowned for his music inspired by sounds from around the world, has been honored with the “Critics’ Choice Discographic Award” for selling over 10 million copies worldwide. He received the “Gold Record” award in Venezuela, dominating the charts in the ’80s and selling over 15 million copies globally. Today, he remains a point of reference for Italy abroad. The show at Palazzo Platamone was organized by the Connessus Event association.
