Albino Mbie was 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 home-made guitar,
Albino wanted to combine styles and incorporate diverse elements in his
music. For his talents to grow, he knew he needed experience new places,
cultures, and sounds.
