Influences
Carlos Santana, OzoMatli, Black Eyed Peas, Maroon 5, Outkast, Mana, Malo, Shakira, Rick James...Those are just a few names of artist's songs we cover. As for our originals, they are just that...original. We like just about anything that has a good dance beat, and is easy to groove to. The music we write comes from the heart, not from a formula. we enjoy what we do, and we hope you will enjoy it as well :D
We are Kafe Riko. We are straight outta Vacaville, California. Never heard of it huh? Thats ok, you will after we hit the scene. ;) We currently have 12 members in our band. We feature the best horn and rhythm sections in northern california. When you add that to our kickin vocals, you've got one awesome show. When asked what kind of music we play, its hard to respond. But, CDasH, "The Rap Rebel" put it best.."We play Latin, Funk, whatever you want..." We play everything from old school funk, to latin rock, to top 40's music so there is sure to be something for everyone to enjoy. But one thing about our music is that its unlike anything you've heard before, we guarantee you wont be able to stay in your seat once we start playing.
