Tullio De Piscopo

Tullio De Piscopo is an Italian drumming legend and multifaceted musician whose career has spanned decades, blending jazz, funk, and Mediterranean flavors into his infectious grooves. Born in Naples in 1946, he first gained recognition as a powerhouse session drummer in the 1960s and 1970s, collaborating with iconic Italian artists and international acts. His 1984 hit *Stop Bajon (Primavera)* became a cultural phenomenon, fusing Afro-Cuban rhythms with pop sensibilities, and its enduring appeal is evident in modern remixes like the *Michael Gray Remix* listed among his recent releases.

A true innovator, De Piscopo’s work—from the jazz explorations of *Planet Jazz* to the introspective *Andamento lento*—showcases his versatility as a composer and percussionist. His later projects, like *Metamorphosis* and *Pasion mediterranea*, continue to celebrate his signature mix of lively rhythms and melodic warmth, while compilations like *Il Meglio di Tullio De Piscopo* reaffirm his status as a foundational figure in Italian music. Whether driving dancefloors or crafting intricate jazz fusion, his beats remain unmistakably vibrant.
