Soniko has been privileged to share the stage with talents such as Charly Garcia, La Secta All Stars, Hombres G, Mikel Eruxtun, Los Amigos Invisbles, La Mosca, Caramelos de Cianuro among many others; each time making more fans and cementing themselves as “The most recognized up and coming Latin Alternative Band from the USA”
