Cortega - Showcase at Espace Agora (Dakar) Showcase recorded live during our Ableton Live training session. Cortega's set draws on his Master Class, which was focused on the history of electronic music and in particular its influence and growth on the African continent. The set starts with afro house music from Angola and South Africa, from 10-15 years ago, and moves towards other genres such as Kwaito, Gqom, and remixes from West African classics, to more contemporary afro-electronic vibrations. Press play, enjoy!
