Cortega

Cortega has earned a reputation for bringing Africa-influenced heat to the dancefloor. Since 2006, teaming up with DJ Underdog, he played an active role in pushing the afrobeat and afro house sound in the US. He has performed in major clubs on the East coast such as Output, Cielo, Eighteenth Street Lounge or U Street Music Hall. Since 2010, Cortega moved to the Continent – first in Nairobi, then Dakar and now Maputo – where ElectrAfrique, the collective and event series he co-founded, took root and grew strong. ElectrAfrique is a celebration of creativity, energy, and dance through pan-African electronic music.
