Toni Sammut Il-Luzzu File:Toni Sammut Il-Luzzu.jpg is a Maltese folk music promoter. He is currently filming the majority of non-government folk music events that are held in different venues, both private and public.

Sammut, who has been following għana for the last forty years, films all the event, which could include three successive improvised verse sessions, interspersed at times with a high-pitched model performance. He is known to register even the lesser known folksingers, who are rarely featured on the local media.

Within hours he uploads his footage on the social media, usually Youtube, where excerpts of the prime folk singer performance is made available for open access viewing, and the full recording for the minor performers.

His footage is appreciated by the Maltese folk singing enthusiasts who reside overseas and cannot physically be present for the recorded event.
