Merci beaucoup, mon ami...
come to think of it, I like "Frere Bongo," as well...
I thought that this might be admired here, if he's not already known. Enjoy...
(OK, it's not a tambourine, but a pandeiro. Good just the same...)
...and a brief clip from a French news channel about forthcoming concert...
Last minute correction...
Actually, its not a pandeiro, its what is called a polytonal tambourine (at least that is what the credits say on his cds). Two of the other guts were playing pandeiros and the other one a variation of a hand drum. But you can call them whatever you like, its still astonishing!

Frère Bongo, Frère Bongo, djembe vue? Djembe vue?....lol.
Yes, I have indeed heard of Carlo Rizzo from a couple of Italians I know here, absolute legend. I'd lve to see him do a frame drum duet with Glen Velez, another frame drum master. Just got to give you a little correction though. In the second video, the first instrument is an Egyptian riq, not a pandeiro. The second instrument is definitely a pandeiro, and the third instrument is an Indian kanjira. And of course Carlo rounds it out with the tunable tambourine. Great upload though!
Here are a few other frame drummers well known for their tambourine techniques.
