Mabe Fratti + support: Military Genius

Mabe Fratti will perform at Prague’s NoD Theatre on 15 November at 7:30pm. Military Genius will perform as support.

Guatemalan, Mexico-based musician Mabe Fratti returns to Prague after three years with two new albums and a band. This sentence alone should be enough of an invitation to the concert she will play on November 15 at NoD.

On her debut EP Pies sobre la tierra, Mabe Fratti "cast her spell" with hypnotic compositions, while the first album Será que ahora podremos entendernos was dominated by meditative surfaces, over which she continued to the more lucid landscapes of Se ve desde aquí. Improvisation runs like a red thread through all her recordings, and is the strongest motif of the singles so far, leading to the new Sentir que no sabes, which benefits from a full band that, while neglecting the previously dominant cello, opens up new, unexplored avenues.

The list of media outlets like NPR, The Wire and Pitchfork singing Mabe Fratti's praises is growing steadily, and the young composer's talents are receiving attention from an expanding legion of fans. Just a few days before the Prague concert, Mabe Fratti will curate part of the programme of this year's international music festival in Utrecht, the Netherlands – Le Guess Who?. The Atrium premiere was intimate, NoD with a full band will be a very different experience.
