Albino Mbie Quartet with Noah Preminger
July 21, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Albino Mbie is an award-winning Musician, Guitarist, Singer, Composer, and Sound and mixing engineer born in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, a country in southern Africa known for its rich musical and cultural heritage. Fueled by the resourcefulness and determination that have always characterized Mozambicans, he built his first guitar at 16 from a 5-liter can of oil, scrap wood, and strings made out of electrical cords.
Drawn to the sounds of neighborhood street musicians in Maputo, Albino began to play in a number of local bands. As with his homemade guitar, Albino wanted to combine styles and incorporate diverse elements in his music. For his talents to grow, he knew he needed to experience new places, cultures, and sounds.
While studying music education and Performance at Universidade Eduardo Mondlane in Mozambique, he received a scholarship and studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston where he could expand his musical horizons.
Today, Albino”s music succeeds in combining many disparate parts into an organic whole. It incorporates his musical experiences from Mozambique, the U.S., and many other places around the world, combining rhythmic patterns and musical concepts to create a unique Afro-Pop and Moz-Jazz sound. He will always continue to combine and capture the energies of different musical traditions to create a unified and original music
