does anyone know what kind of music 'neomelodici' is?

the passage included a list of music:
"musica rap, rock pesante, heavy metal, brani neomelodici e musica pop."

grazie.

    I'm not sure if it specifically has to do with Neapolitan music, but this Wikipedia article (on Neapolitan songs) mentions musica neomelodica a lot. The term literally means "nuova melodia"--"new melody"--but that doesn't really mean much...

    Indeed, it is a contemporary subgenre of Neapolitan music, particularly popular with the urban working class of that city.
    I'm afraid I don't know much more about it, since it is virtually unheard of outside of Naples and its surroundings.
