Three siblings, with Latin Rock in their veins, provide a laid back yet energetic style of music to entertain their audience.
RiKo’s style of music is a product of a mix of cultures and experiences the integrants have gone through. Because they have experienced some hardships in their lives, they became very aware of emotions. These emotions drove them to inspiration and to the compositions that will be released soon in the debut of “Almas Desnudas.” Passion and perseverance drive these young, talented, human beings every day from early in the morning to late nights for the purpose of serving and giving to their audiences a smile and comfortable music for their travels through out life.
By mixing Pop rock, and other influences they have resulted with a musical proposal exquisite in harmonies, voices and a rhythmic richness that makes the band appeal to large audiences. The guitars, keyboards and rhythms conjugate in an exciting fusion that flows smoothly and intensifies human emotions. The songs have a simple language with a positive message that deal with feelings that everybody can identify with.
The band started in 2006 with Jose Rico (Voice, Main Guitar), Victor Bejar (former Guitar) and Milton Rico (Drums).
In 2008, Marian Rico (Keyboards, Background Vocals) and Kenty Love (Bass) joined the band.
Last year RiKo performed in several places from which we can highlight their participation in the most important event in the Latino community in Philadelphia —The Hispanic Choice Awards, at the Kimmel Center for the performing arts.
This band prepares every day and has made the commitment to high standards. They have made their commitment to excellence. They have made the commitment to them selves, but more importantly to you.
“La música viene de nuestro Corazón con el fin de llenar tu Corazón.” (Our music comes from our heart with the purpose to fill your heart.)
J. Riko
Riko es una banda de rock en español que logra un estilo unico integrando mezclas de guitarras eléctricas y teclados con diferentes estilos ritmicos que se conjugan en una fusion muy agradable, la cual llega perfectamente dentro de la sensibilidad juvenil en todo genero, con un lenguaje descomplicado y sencillo con el objeto de compartir un mensaje positivo dentro del entorno cotidiano de cada joven a partir de las vivencias descritas en cada cancion.
