Praised by folk legend Joan Baez as ‘the best young Chilean songwriter of his generation’, Nano Stern stands out as one of the most
important Chilean musicians of his time, with a recording career spanning ten years that includes five award winning and critically
acclaimed solo albums.
Nano is currently promoting his 9th studio recording Aún creo en la belleza [I still believe in beauty]. With this album Stern searches for the simple and the subtle in the service of poetry made song. Amid a turbulent world, Nano builds a refuge of words and sounds that reflect the worries and calmness of the intense times in which we live.
In 2023, as the world commemorated 50 years since the coup d’état in Chile, Nano Stern revisited the songs of legendary folk singer Víctor Jara with the release Nano Stern Canta A Víctor Jara and tours throughout Europe, North and South America. He also published Décimas del Estallido (a chronicle in Verse of the Chilean Rebellion), produced the documentary "En Septiembre Canta el Gallo” (with Luis
Emilio Briceño), that portrays the generation of young people who revolutionized Chilean song from 1958 to 1973; and, with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Concepción, premiered and recorded his first symphonic work “…Hará brotar el momento”.
