On this episode of Doing Music, Sofia Kourtesis talks to Craig Schuftan about the inspirations and intentions that feed into her distinctive, uplifting strain of electronic music. Since moving to Berlin from her native Peru, Sofia has arrived at a sound that folds her Latin heritage into warm, delicately crafted club tracks peppered with diaristic phone samples from her worldly travels. As she unpicks her creative process, Sofia talks about the importance of imperfection in her sound, balancing the good times with the bad and working with one of her musical heroes, Manu Chao.
