Journey

Reikat, the creative alias of Luis Reinaldo Vásquez, stands as a pioneering Chilean musician whose work merges pop, rock-pop, and rap into a seamless auditory experience. Emerging from Valparaíso’s vibrant music scene, Reikat's initial breakthrough came with "Eternamente" in 2017, a collaborative track with Sander that cemented his reputation in Latin urban music. His 2018 debut album "Citrino" laid the foundation for his self-titled 2019 follow-up "Reikat," released under Mentigrese label, where he demonstrated his dual role as both performer and composer. Critical acclaim followed for tracks like “Por Todo el Aire” and “Niñx Bravx,” which featured Nico Bl and DJ Nota, and highlighted his nuanced lyrical approach characterized by introspection and emotional depth. Reikat’s evolving sound captures Chilean cultural influences, juxtaposing urban Latin rhythms with electronic beats, as continued in singles like “8 Bits” and “Fly.” As a dynamic force bridging multiple genres, Reikat remains a salient figure whose music resonates with diverse audiences, reflecting both his artistic growth and the cultural undercurrents of his homeland.
