RA Sessions: Sofia Kourtesis

Ninja Tune’s Sofia Kourtesis-a Peruvian producer, DJ and vocalist living in Berlin-joins Resident Advisor’s live Sessions for a moving performance of some of her most distinguishable tracks. “By Your Side,” “Sarita Colonia” and “La Perla” are all taken from her 2021 album Fresia Magdelina. Kourtesis wrote the LP in honour of her late father, who was dying of leukemia as she was putting the collection together. Her Sessions is a poignant rendition of this release, performed in the RA studios with bandmate Tom Stephens.

Superb

[@tomasemi5484]

Im speechless

[@tomasemi5484]

Im glad to see her on such a label as ninja tune . Just ordered her vinyls

[@tomasemi5484]

Just read that the last song was dedicated to her father who died on leukemia. Puh

[@tomasemi5484]

🥺

[@w_jk3554]

Anyone knows where she buys her Acid !!

[@wilijimenez9193]

SOberbia!

[@measures_of_distance]

The Iggy Pop of electronic music! Loved that she owned the backing tracks often not matching her perfect pitch from the album that was fukn siccccc

[@chrisclarke9299]

Exactly 💯- and she leaves no crumbs

[@venuswilliamsinfurs]

The beats are, in no way, sick enough to justify those facial expressions

[@chrisclarke9299]

Word up ❤😂😢😅

[@vampiresforesl]

This is rad, but I can't make any connections between the actions she's taking and changes in the music.

[@jorvten360]

I don’t get the concept of her beeing a live act with this setup, over performing herself on sampled edited vocals of herself feels odd.

[@ubelyildmar2368]

You are not alone 😂

[@foljs5858]

Peruvian? Sounds Greek...

[@BrotherPenny]

Are you saying she’s lying?

[@estebanconteyanez4317]

Her father was also Greek.

[@terrynoel1267]

Ma che gli avete dato

[@carlosrosasdelacruz]
