1) Roko ist a Germ… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 2 artists by the name of ROKO:
1) Roko ist a German hard rock / melodic hard rock project by Roko (Robert Kohlmeyer) also in JoJo and German Rock Project.
The first selftitled album was released in 1990, followed by "Open Invitation" and "Think About Tomorrow".
In 1997 a solo relase called Fantasy hit the shelves and seems to be the last album so far.
2) ROKO is a beginner filmmaker/hardcore cinephile hopelessly in love with Music, Art and Culture, spending a lot of his time mixing the Deep, Dark and Dutty sounds of Dubstep & Grime on his laptop. As well as a digital DJ, he has a history in music through playing electric guitar for the past 10 years. His own musical background ranges from Rock to Black&Death Metal and from there onto Oldschool Jungle, Ragga-Jungle and the rest of the electronic music spectrum. However, musically he is extremely inspired by music from Classical to Blues/Jazz/Funk/Soul, Hip-Hop to Techno, Dub, Reggae, all sort of Metal as well as Experimental Music and the Avant-garde. At the moment mixing-wise the dominating sound is definately the emerging Dubstep & Grime. Earlier ROKO was pushing these sounds in his hometown Helsinki, working as a partner in crime towards a bigger Dubstep scene with fellow Helsinki sub-bass addicts. Now having moved back to London he is playing SUB FM weekly and organising a monthly night B.O.M.B@Cafe1001 on Brick Lane.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Redes conectadas, solo veo las soledades.
Vivo en este taxi, dentro de esta hipnosis,
Donde la ficción supera nuestras realidades.
Luz, vuelve a iluminar,
Todo lo que tocas,
Luz, vuelve a conectar,
El tacto de mi piel con tu piel.
(Luz, the light...)
La vida no se acaba, cuando te marchas tu.
Se apagan los colores, se queda ciega la luz.
La vida no se marcha, cuando te marchas tu,
Solamente respiro, suspiro
Te miro y miro el cielo azul.
Luz, vuelve a iluminar,
Todo lo que tocas,
Toda nuestra oscuridad.
Luz, vuelve a conectar,
El tacto de mi piel con tu piel.
La vida no se acaba, cuando te marchas tu.
Se apagan los colores, se apaga el sentimiento
Se queda ciega la luz.
Luz, vuelve a iluminar,
Todo lo que tocas,
Toda nuestra oscuridad.
Luz, vuelve a conectar,
El tacto de mi piel con tu piel.
La vida no se acaba, cuando te marchas tu.
Se apagan los colores, se queda ciega la luz.
(Luz, the light
Switch on the light)
The song "Luz" by Roko is about the loneliness and disconnection people feel in the modern world, particularly in cities where technology dominates our lives. The singer portrays this idea by being in a taxi, trapped in a hypnotic state and only able to see the loneliness of people on the street, despite being surrounded by people. She longs for connection with another person, represented by the recurring theme of light. Through this light, she wants to illuminate the darkness and reconnect with that person's touch. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Luz vuelve a iluminar" meaning "Light, illuminate again" and "Luz vuelve a conectar" meaning "Light, reconnect again". The final stanza is about the inevitability of death, but it does not mean the end of life because the memories and feelings are still alive.
The song's lyrics are incredibly poetic, and it reveals a lot about the struggles of modern society. The disconnection and loneliness portrayed in the song are something that many people can relate to, as technology and social media often make people feel more isolated. The idea of light and connection is a beautiful metaphor to convey the desire for intimacy and connection. Moreover, the song's message of hope is quite comforting, as it reminds us that despite the difficulties of life, it is essential to try and reconnect with loved ones.

Sigo sin entender la poca repercución de Roko, es una pedazo de artista, esto es un temazo... otra grande infravalorada :(
Jesús Calvo Cilla
Me encanta Roko, tiene una magia en su voz... "Todo lo que toca", como dice esta canción, se ilumina. Me encanta este tema
Miguel Corona
Roko es otro nivel, se nota, no es de las masas y es una pena que no se le apoye lo que merece esta chica. Anda españoles que por eso luego se les van, como Ruth.
Ana
Es de las mejores cantantes que hay ahora .Las imitaciones de canciones de cantantes que hace los clava. El blues que hace es de lo más difícil eres una crack. Y como persona perece una bellísima persona que más se puede pedir a una persona.
