Creating objects for the listener to find as the album progresses from layers of cello, synthesizers, guitars, plates, clappings and field recordings such as the birds of La Orduña.

It’s a matter of purpose.” Throughout the record, Mabe uses the questioning to frame how to link the start and the end of a song. Looking at it this way and applying it to communication, I couldn’t separate the idea of simplification and optimization. It’s about how do you move from one place in the room to the other there are objects in the way? There’s always on option to make a route hard and long or short and easy. The act of putting something in a room and the process of how you arrange it and applying this to how we arrange words. Says “I focused on the idea of “diagramation”. Through omission and clumsiness, we often make the process of understanding incredibly complicated. Será que ahora podremos entendernos is birthed from the idea that we as people are a funnel that simplify how we communicate with each other and ourselves. Mabe’s return to the city, meant further collaborations with the likes of Sebastián Rojas (Sei Still, The Americo Jones Experience) and Hugo Quezada (Robota, Exploded View). Whilst living in Veracruz, Mabe was able to collaborate with members of drone rock band Tajak, Pedro Tirado and worked remotely with Texan experimentalist Claire Rousay. Mabe’s involvement with the Mexican improvisation scene and her time quarantining with fellow musicians invites many collaborators onto this record.
The impact of the pandemic meant many of these musicians fled to an old juice factory in Veracruz called La Orduña to quarantine together, where the album came to be created. Immersing herself in collaborations with fellow musicians operating amongst the scene. Now based in Mexico city, Mabe has been heavily involved in the Mexican improvisation scene. Using voice, cello, synthesizers and field recordings, her newest record which translates in English to ‘Will we be able to understand each other now?” is an exploration of communication, not only with others but also ourselves. But that’s the excitement and beauty of this thing called life.Será que ahora podremos entendernos is the second album to come from Guatemalan cellist Mabe Fratti. It’s Space Mountain without knowing if they finished building the track.
Even making a bold move like quitting your job will take you down an unpredictable and largely uncontrollable path. This is one of my life mantras, less apathetic and more of an acknowledgement that you can only control what you can control. Lyrics like these need to be hollered, not lullaby’d.įor the monolingual folks, the song wastes no time in translating the phrase for you: Whatever will be, will be. Much like how Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix reimagined the Star-Spangled Banner, or Stevie Wonder to the Happy Birthday song, THIS is the version that should be remembered. Slowed down and gospel’d up, the Fam created a whole new sound to accompany the well-known lyrics.
Then, in 1973, San Francisco funk band Sly and The Family Stone took the famous song and added some seasoning. The song, sung by Doris Day, won the Academy award for Best Song, and became Ms. If you know the phrase Que Sera, Sera, it’s likely you heard it sung in “ The Man Who Knew Too Much”, the 1956 classic from my all-time favorite film director, Alfred Hitchcock. Que sera, sera / Whatever will be, will be / The future's not ours to see
