Rikas

Rikas is an indie pop group from Stuttgart, Germany. The act is associated with indie and surf influences and is described as working across punk-pop and indie styles. The group is linked with the names Ricardo Horta and Vale Otero Saints.

The project emerges from a background of early musical involvement and a focus on instrumental performance. The material associated with Rikas refers to guitar as well as electric and acoustic guitar, piano and flute, suggesting a broad multi-instrumental approach. It also notes study at the Conservatory of Music of Coimbra, where a Free Course of Piano is completed, alongside later self-taught work on acoustic and electric guitar.

Rikas is presented as using the internet as a means of promotion and as an act that continues to explore new musical directions. No edited work is listed in the available information.
