Pies Sobre la Tierra

Guatemalan cellist, improviser, and songwriter Mabe Fratti ties her different musical ambitions together in this collection of instrumentals and vocal numbers. Mixing her voice, electronics, and cello, Fratti delivers free spirited yet emotionally focused music, ranging from textural jams with Mexican experimentalists like Mito del Desierto and Concepción Huerta to verse-chorus-verse excursions like “Todo Lo Que Querías Saber” and “Creo Que Puedo Hacer Algo,” which distill her adventurous spirit into celestial vocal melodies and structured songwriting.
