KOZA MOSTRA, one of the most internationally acclaimed and nationally influential Greek bands of the past decade that has captivated audiences with its unique fusion of traditional Greek music with genres such as hard rock, ska & punk. This innovative blend has inspired a new generation of artists to challenge genre boundaries while exploring their cultural heritage. Formed in 2012 by Ilias Kozas, Koza Mostra quickly rose to prominence, earning widespread acclaim with their international debut at Eurovision 2013 in Sweden, where they performed the energetic and unforgettable song "Alcohol is Free". The song remains a fan favourite, amassing over 12 million views across various YouTube uploads.
Their debut album, Keep Up The Rhythm. The album was a resounding success, selling over 150,000 physical copies and 300,000 digital downloads to date.
In 2015, following a personal request of Mikis Theodorakis, they made a cover of one of his politically most famous songs “Leventis”, thus becoming the first of the new generation artists who were allowed to “ touch” his legacy.
Their second album, Corrida, was released in late 2017. Its bold, genre-defying sound solidified Koza Mostra’s reputation as a truly unique band.
On their third album “Malaka” (December 2024) Koza Mostra worked together with a great team including 2 Grammy Nominated Svante Forsbäck (Rammstein, Eskimo Callboy, Apocalyptica and many more) who did the mastering of the album. Not to mention the collaboration with Gogol Bordello’s Pedrito who joined forces with KM on “Requiem”, a song about solidarity.
Until now, they were relentlessly touring in Europe while sharing the stage with artists such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Gogol Bordello, Goran Bregovic, Madness, and many more.
Renowned for their high-energy performances, KOZA MOSTRA has become a staple at festivals, events, and club shows across Europe. The band delivers a unique artistic experience that unites audiences in celebration.
