En 2017/18, los Mandoki Soulmates tocaron una serie de conciertos aclamada internacionalmente titulada "Wings Of Freedom - A Story Of Mother Europe" con ovaciones de pie en las salas de conciertos más hermosas de las capitales europeas París (L'Olympia), Londres (Hammersmith Eventim Apollo), Budapest ( Budapest Park) y Berlín (Konzerthaus am Gendarmenmarkt) y finalmente en el Beacon Theatre de Nueva York.
