Koza Mostra is a Greek rock band founded in 2012. It consists of Ilias Kozas (lead singer, classical and electric guitar), Dimitris Raptis (drums), Stavros Apostolidis (bouzouki, backing vocals), Giannis Bellos (bass guitar, backing vocals), Tasos Gentzis (saxophone, backing vocals) and Asterios Fragos (electric guitar, backing vocals).[1] The band fuses ska, punk, and rock music together with the style of traditional Greek folk music such as Macedonian Greek music and rebetiko.[1][2]

They represented Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with Agathonas Iakovidis and the song "Alcohol Is Free", placed 6th in the final.[3][4]

Their debut album Keep up the Rhythm, released on March 22, 2013,[5] reached triple Platinum certification[6] from Greek music industry authority IFPI. It was published by Panik Platinum Records,[5] which is a sublabel of Panik Entertainment Group responsible for "Greek Ethnic music".[7]

On December 15, 2017, they released their second album entitled Corrida. This album was published by Panik Oxygen Records,[8] also a sublabel of Panik Entertainment Group.[7] Subsequent releases were self-released without a label by Koza Mostra.[9]

The album artwork for Koza Mostra's two studio albums, was created by Paul Hitter, who is also responsible for the majority of American punk band Gogol Bordello's artwork.[1]

On February 1, 2020 they released a single entitled "Requiem" featuring Pedro Erazo of Gogol Bordello.[10]

On June 27, 2022, they released a single entitled "Bilio".[11]

On January 6, 2024 they released a single entitled "Elvis".[12]

On September 28, 2024 the band announced on social media, that they would be doing an album preview tour in the United Kingdom, and revealing the title of their upcoming third album, Malaka.[13] The release date was later revealed to be 30 November 2024.[14]
