Mabe Fratti is a Guatemalan cellist and composer. Her most recent release, 2022’s Se Ve Desde Aquí (‘It Is Seen From Here’) showcases a sinuous, tensile sound coupled with a confident and clear-eyed worldview. Fratti is always on the lookout for new ways to express herself and to reflect her surroundings; she sees this as a process of continual “sonic transformation”. The tactile, mercurial and sometimes sparkling arrangements also suggest Fratti knows where to place her work in the wider world.
