Sentir Que No Sabes, Mabe Fratti (2024)

On her latest Mabe Fratti appears to make for some sort of commercial break, opting to lay bare the extent to which her music can exhibit exceptional beauty – and yet there’s no sense of artistic compromise to Sentir Que No Sabes. Overall it is her most accessible listen but that accessibility still emerges out of low-end industrial clatter and sparse chamber music, it still feels precisely, elegantly, adventurously composed.

Pick: ‘Pantalla azul’

El Sol Sigue Ahí (El Sol Brilló - No Tenía Alternativa)

[beginningspod]

It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.

On today's episode, I talk to musician Mabe Fratti. Originally from Guatemala, Mabe studied cello from a young age, but was on a path to become a journalist before a Goethe Institute residency took her to Mexico to work on her music. There she got involved in the Mexico City improvisational music scene. Mabe produced her first album Pies Sobre La Tierra in 2019, which was followed by Será Que Ahora Podremos Entendernos in 2021, Se Ve Desde Aquí in 2022, and her latest Sentir Que No Sabes was just released in June on Unheard of Hope, and folks, it's fantastic!

Mabe Fratti and Mexico City's experimental music scene

''Driven by an influx of musicians to the metropolis and the establishment there of new institutions — sound galleries like 316 Centro in the city’s La Merced neighborhood, and labels such as Umor Rex — the Mexican capital’s avant-garde music community has flourished in recent years. Fratti is known for her minimalist structures: economical arrangements made up of distorted cello sounds that sometimes build upon each other. While this world of artists, musicians and writers has always been close-knit, it is by no means exclusive. “There are a lot of free shows at public spaces,” Fratti said, “so people can stop and look and, if they like it, they stay.” Camille Mandoki, a member of Amor Muere, agreed that the scene is “very open.” “There’s noise around,” she noted, “there’s ambient around, there’s rock around, and all these things can get very mixed, which is, of course, great for the music.” This mélange, the singer and sound artist said, is crucial to understanding Fratti’s work.''

Vidrio Titanic (2023), A time to love, a time to die Amor Muere (2023)

The Mabe Fratti extended universe has its delights, enough to make it worth a look even for non-completists. Both Vidrio and A time to love, a time to die have highlights as tall as Fratti’s solo works. 

Pick(s): ‘Hotel Elizabeth’, ‘LA’
