Naples’ One-of-a-Kind Music Scene Is Having a Championship Year

Naples is having a magical moment in 2023. As the city celebrates a title-winning football season, its thriving music scene has also claimed a big victory: Naples is the only Italian region with homegrown artists who are charting nationally, including hip-hop star Geolier.

One of the defining qualities of Neapolitan music that keeps fans across Italy coming back for more is the way it constantly reinvents itself and embraces a genre-less identity. This evolution dates back to the 1960s, when the funk and rock sounds of local artists like Pino Daniele e James Senese, as well as the pop sounds of Nino D’Angelo, helped put the city’s music scene on the map.  

In the 1990s and early 2000s as Neapolitan music continued its evolution, the first hints of Neapolitan rap began to emerge. Since then, the city’s artists have continued to embrace diverse influences while incorporating local dialect and Naples-centric themes to maintain a sense of Napoletanità—or “Neapolitan-ness.”
