TobiKa

Tobías Sielicki, known as Tobika, is an Argentine singer-songwriter from Buenos Aires who developed a self-described “urban folklore” sound that mixed contemporary urbano rhythms with Argentine folk roots. He first appeared on digital platforms in 2023 with the single “NADIE LO SABE” and early releases such as “Beso Criollo,” rooted more in hip-hop and Latin pop. In 2024, Tobika pivoted decisively toward guitar-led folk textures and storytelling with singles including “Las Cosas de la Vida,” “Cielo Rosado,” “Dopamina” and “Oro por Cobre,” and solidified that direction with the folk-tagged single “VIDA AMARGA,” released on 4 November 2024. That same period he expanded his collaborations, issuing “NO LO MERECES” and “PAN Y VINO” with producer and artist Bbynito and building an audience on social media and streaming. On 2 April 2025 he released the five-track EP EL GAUCHITO, featuring “PRESO,” “SIN PASAPORTE” and “SOS MALA” with BABYBOOM, as well as “SONAR EN LA RADIO” with Roxxee and “PAN Y VINO,” and presented the project live at a Niceto Club show billed as the official launch of his first EP after selling out earlier dates. During 2025 Tobika followed with singles such as “LOS FACHOS,” “SONAR EN LA RADIO,” “MI CHINA” and “SIN PASAPORTE” and took his “folclore urbano” concept onto television and festival stages. On 7 November 2025 he released “CHIKA HIPPIE” as a standalone single through Rayuela under exclusive license to Interscope Records, a barrio love story that became his signature track across streaming platforms and positioned Tobika as a leading young voice in Argentina’s emerging urban-folk crossover scene while he remained active.
