THE TRACK RECORD OF THE MOCCA BAND SEEN FROM HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES

Ilham Nur Utomo

Abstract


Abstract:This study aimed to find out the track record of the Mocca band in the music industry from its founding phase, the working phase, to the phase when they are being known abroad. The period investigated in this study was 1999-2014. Mocca, as an indie band, is well known in Indonesia and even abroad, but not many people know about the band’s track record in the historical context. The method used in this study was the historical method which consists of stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results of this study suggested that Mocca, which was founded in 1999, has always been consistent in its work as shown through several albums that have been released, and has been active in entertaining the public from stage to stage for more than ten years. Mocca’s historical journey was dynamic until it experienced a revival in late 2014. Mocca is an indie band from Indonesia that has the capability to release albums, arrange concerts, and become known abroad, especially in South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore. This success is influenced by some factors, including their consistency, quality of music, management, and representative promotion.
