Background notes
Archive material and source history
Brancaleone came out of Naples in the late 1990s, led by vocalist Antonio Esposito. They mixed traditional Neapolitan folk with electric guitars and driving rhythms, which drew some skepticism at first. Their single "Torito" from 2002 became a summer hit and pushed them to wider attention.
Their albums include "Terra Mia" from 2001, "Le Storie di Nunzio" from 2005, and "Sotto il Vulcano" from 2009. They worked with musicians like Lucio Dalla and Pino Daniele. Other songs include "Al Trotecito" and "Corazon."
Esposito was arrested in 2009 for alleged drug possession. The band's lyrics sometimes drew criticism for explicit language and social references. The core lineup included Rino Zurzolo on guitar, Enzo Gragnaniello on bass, and Davide Cantarella on drums.
