What music is this? I really like it.
'Musica' = MU-si-ca, stress on first syllable. Three syllables.
Use this when you genuinely enjoy the music at a party. It immediately creates a shared appreciative moment. In Italy, music choices are personal and meaningful, so asking this shows interest in someone's taste.
The question 'che + noun + è questo/questa?' = 'what kind of + noun + is this?' is a versatile Italian structure: 'che genere è?' 'che canzone è?' The possessive is implied — you are asking about the music being played.
Chi sta suonando? È un DJ locale?
Who is playing? Is it a local DJ?

Italodisco (or italo disco) is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Italy in the late 1970s and had massive international success in the 1980s. It is experiencing a major revival among younger Italians and is frequently played at parties. Artists like Den Harrow, Sabrina, and Ryan Paris are iconic names.
