August 2, 2023

Berlin-based Peruvian producer, vocalist, and DJ, Sofia Kourtesis, has announced her highly anticipated debut album, “Madres“, set to be released on 27th October via Ninja Tune. The album comprises 10 tracks and features recently released singles, including the lead single “Si Te Portas Bonito”.

“Madres” holds a special place in Sofia Kourtesis’s heart as it is dedicated to her mother and the neurosurgeon, Peter Vajkoczy, who played a pivotal role in saving her life. This heartfelt dedication comes in the wake of the passing of Kourtesis’s father, the inspiration behind her breakout single “La Perla”.

The sonic landscape of “Madres” draws inspiration from the artist’s dual experiences in her native Peru and her adopted home in Berlin. The album’s sound elevates the blend of uplifting electronic and pop elements that first captivated in her 2021 debut EP, “Fresia Magdalena”.

Alongside the album announcement, Sofia Kourtesis also shared the lead single “Si Te Portas Bonito” a glimpse into the new album.

In her recent Twitter post, Kourtesis expressed her excitement about her album’s pre-order and revealed that those who pre-order “Madres” before Tuesday, 1st August will gain early access to tickets for her live shows.

Mark your calendar for the 27th of October for “Madres” via Ninja Tune. Sofia Kourtesis’s unique blend of heartfelt storytelling and captivating soundscapes promises to make the album more of a musical experience.

To celebrate the album’s release, Sofia Kourtesis has also announced a series of live dates in November, including performances at London’s Islington Assembly Hall and Manchester’s Canvas.
