Mozo is the title given by fans to a Peter Gabriel song cycle, as well as the main character of same. It is tied together by the story of Mozo, lyrical themes revolving around short-wave radio, and other events which were to be included in a greater story, never brought to fruition by Gabriel.

- Here Comes The Flood(Peter Gabriel, 1977)
- On The Air (Peter Gabriel, 1978)
- Exposure (Peter Gabriel, 1978)
- Red Rain (So, 1986)

[edit] Story Of Mozo
The most straightforward song to feature in the Mozo song cycle is On The Air. The song tells of a homeless Mozo living in a selfbuilt cabin in a junkyard, spending his nights broadcasting with the use of a short-wave radio.
Red Rain is possibly told from the perspective of Mozo, as he is not featured directly in the song, but it is known the be part of the song cycle, and tells the story of a village whose residents are punished for their sins by acid rain.
Neither Here Comes The Flood, Down The Dolce Vita or Exposure are directly about Mozo, but do reference other happenings in the story's overall continuity.
