WHAT A DAY!
Seeing Manu Chao teaming up with one of the most legendary uprising electronic producers in the electronic scene last years is just... pure bliss! Sofia Kourtesis brings out the grooviest vibes out there and their collab "Estación Esperanza" is instant feel-good vibe. The song, dedicated to Sofia's mom, is build around chants from a Peruvian protest against homophobia. I think the track is Sofia's way to counter the ups and downs of the past very emotional years for her. "If you don’t see the dark side you will not cherish the light.", guided by her Father's words the artist channels all of this into her way of bringing this beautiful energy into our lives.
What a powerful follow-up to Bonobo's Friday LP Fragments drop. Ninja Tune have once again lined up nothing but the best music for us.
"Estación Esperanza is all about hope," shares Sofia. “I’m hopeful my mother will get better, I’m hopeful the world will begin to heal, I’m hopeful this song will bring you light on dark days. I first wrote this song after listening to Manu Chao. To me Manu Chao has always represented hope, his lyrics were like a bible to me growing up. This song is for him, my mother and all those activists working hard to make this world better.. never lose hope!"
