Sofia Kourtesis

Sofia Kourtesis is a Peruvian producer, vocalist, and DJ living in Berlin. In Fresia Magdalene EP, the Berlin-based artist pays tribute to her native Lima, Peru - in bittersweet house music that wears its spiritual yearning on its sleeve. Sometimes, particularly these days, those in search of grace find they must create it themselves. In the Callao district of Lima, Peru, for instance, crowds of outcasts including transgender individuals and people surviving homelessness and poverty gather to worship a DIY saint at a concrete-block shrine.
