Mocca is an Indonesian four-member jazz and swing band based in Jakarta.[1][2]

The band

[edit]

Mocca was formed in 1997 by Arina Ephipania (vocals, flute) and Riko Prayitno (guitar), who met while studying at the National Institute of Technology.[3] In a 2004 interview with The Straits Times Ephipania said "Riko was influenced by rock music, I was fascinated by motion picture music and story telling, so we came up with this concept of telling stories in a musical form."[4] The other two principal members are Achmad Pratama (a.k.a. Toma) (bass) and Indra Massad (drums). They signed with independent label Fast Forward Records in 2002.[5] The band is popular in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.[6][7] Mocca's fans are called Swinging Friends.[8]
