You probably didn’t see this one coming: a cellist/singer from Guatemala at Boomtown!
Yet Mabe Fratti released Se Ve Desde Aquí, one of our favorite albums of 2023. Her show that year in the Botanical Garden in Ghent was nothing short of unforgettable.
Her intuitive and experimental music closely echoes the work of groundbreaking artists like Arthur Russell and Kate Bush. From free jazz and ambient to shoegaze and dream pop—you can even catch glimpses of Gregorian chant and Sephardic music from the Jewish tradition.
The cello forms the foundation of Fratti’s music, but it’s layered with a delicious mix of vintage synths, drones, guitars, and field recordings. Combined with her unique, gentle voice, it’s enough to melt even the trendiest critics.
Pitchfork, The Wire, and The Guardian—they're all on board.
