One thing about Tokischa? She’s gonna make a splash wherever she goes. The Dominican rapper surprised fans when she joined Rosalía on stage for her weekend two Coachella set (April 22). In doing so, Toki became the first Dominican dembowsera to grace the festival’s stage. 

After a heart-pumping start to Rosalía’s set, Tokischa suddenly appeared to perform their collab “Linda.” Their performance marked one of the first times dembow has been performed at the Coachella main stage, preceded only by Bad Bunny’s set.

“Thank you for sharing such beautiful moments with me,” wrote Tokischa on her Instagram. “What a joy it is to do this art that gives us the Divine with people as special as you. I love you a lot forever,” she continued. “I love you more Toki, I’m always here for you,” Rosalía responded in the comments. 

But the pair weren’t the only ones feeling all the love. Fans online wasted no time and chimed in as soon as they could in response to the performance.

“Tokischa together with Rosalia at Coachella is everything good about life,” wrote one fan on Twitter.

“Rosalía brought out Tokischa for Coachella and they didn’t sing La Combi Versace ” wrote another fan, referring to the fact that the duo has yet to perform that song together. “I’m going to die!”

“I am so proud of Tokischa for doing her fucking thing tonight at Coachella,” said another fan.

This wasn’t the first sighting of Tokischa at the festival grounds. Jamaican dance hall artist Shenseea also brought out Toki along with Coi Leray to perform their bilingual remix of “Players” (April 15).

It seems like Tokischa isn’t quite done with the festival circuit yet. She was just announced as a headliner at Eladio Carrión’s Sauce Boyz Fest in Puerto Rico next month (May 18). With Tokischa’s star continuously on the rise, is it possible that she’ll take the stage in the desert for her own Coachella set next year?
