"The sound of Mokoka revolves around a punk-rock-core direct where the melodies are as catchy as the choruses heady! .. And if singing in Euskara, the Basque language, is already is a commitment, do not forget all his companions. The group then turned into association to help families of Basque political prisoners and meet their financial needs. .. The Euskara, therefore, to denounce the repression in Franco-Spanish Euskal Herria. Words and melodies to carry the fight beyond the artificial boundaries of politics. .. Also, if etymologically means Mokoka Barney, the group is also the symbol of the claims he wants to get in his texts. In addition to the Basque cause, more generally Mokoka tackles the problems of society today (unemployment, individualism, illiteracy ...). .. But the group does not lose sight of the sense of fun and knows how to combine text with thoughtful and serious themes lighter, always punctuated with music and pogotante. Their concerts are all tense moment, shooting stretched as time of derision and humor. Their recovery, in Breton in the text, Tri Martelod is an example !.... Mokoka occurred in nearly one hundred and fifty concerts in Paris (Fahrenheit, Euskal Etxea, Reflex-CICP, Guinguette Pirate, Dial Omnibus, Vendémiaire and bars), in Britain, Iparralde (Baiona, Itxassou, Senpere, Baigorri) and Hegoalde (Irun, Gernika, Bilbao, Gasteiz), the festival Euskal Herria Zuzenean 98 ... .. And played with Fermin Muguruza, La Polla, Etsaiak, Anestesia, Betagarri, Skunk, Ten Little Indians, Kargol's, The Sheriff, Brigada Flores Magon, Rude Boy System, P4 to Attack ....... .. The group was arrested in 2000. But the struggle continues ....."
