Desde que me acuerdo que me paso días y noches haciendo musica. Y desde entonces, he tenido la suerte de poder hacerlo con otras personas increibles de las cuales he aprendido todo lo que se y no se. Además la vida me ha regalado la oportunidad de viajar por el planeta haciendo lo que más amo... Cantar. En un mundo en el cual las fronteras de la música son en realidad tan estúpidas como las de los países, prefiero no hablar de estilos. Pa eso esta la prensa y toda la locura asociada.
Gracias por pasar por el sitio, ojala les gusten los temas y si pueden, pasen por un concierto que ahí es cuando la cosa cobra vida y se hace real.
...Nano
----------BIO IN ENGLISH----------------
"When he sings you listen, even if you don't understand Spanish, because it feels like the truth." - Andrew Cronshaw
Nano Stern from Chile started playing music before he can actually remember, picking up and playing many instruments; embracing and re-interpreting the songs and sounds he encountered along the way.
At just 23, this writer, multi-instrumentalist, performer and producer is at the front of the new Chilean sound. His is a unique, eclectic fusion of traditional Latin American and European folk music, with modern rock, folk and jazz.
He was a school-age member of Matoral and Mecanica Popular, two of Chile's leading rock and folk bands of the time. After moving to Europe in 2004 he collaborated extensively with producer Tato Gomez, with whom he recorded most of the songs on his self-titled solo debut. Hitch-hiking on a European road, he was picked up by young musicians on their way to an Ethno gathering; collections of young & talented artists from all over the world, sharing their knowledge and coming together for performances.
In a year in Amsterdam he met Philippe Lemm and together they founded Wazabe, a band that to him feels more like a family. After that, Nano moved to the Dutch capital and spent a year playing with many different bands, across many styles; from the Colombian cumbias and vallenatos of 'La Parranda' to the gypsy swings of the 'Caspian Hat Dance'. He studied at the Jazz department of the Amsterdam conservatory. He also co-produced Indo(cumentados)..s debut album: "Reciclaje Latinoamericano".
In Chile in 2007, he recorded and released his second solo album "Voy y Vuelvo". Wazabe released its debut album in Amsterdam and did a second European tour. Nano produced the recordings of Gavin Mee's second album "Mee Mantras" and collaborated with Manuel García and Catalonian musician Guillamino in "eXile", a multicultural project which explored the poetry written while in exile by Pablo Neruda and Pera Cuar.
2008 started for Nano at the five day Woodford Folk Festival in Australia. English speaking audiences were drawn together as one and left on their feet. Back home in Chile, fans were singing along to his songs on the radio. "Voy Y Vuelvo" won the 2008 APES award for best album. Nano toured Chile with his band and solo, supporting and performing with Chico Cesar (Brazil), Jorge Drexler (Uruguay), Paulinho Moska (Brasil) and Alejandro Filio (Mexico).
He returned to Europe for the northern summer and led the Ethno gathering in Estonia. He also played at the Viljandi Festival. Ethno in Transit winded its way through India. Before returning home to a guest performance in honour of Salvador Allende at the National Stadium in Santiago, Nano recorded an instrumental guitar album with Swedish folk guitarrist Mattias Perez, exploring the fusion of Chilean and Swedish traditional styles.
Soon he'll appear at the Umea Folk Festival in Sweden and play his first shows in London. "Voy Y Vuelvo" will be released in Australia (Vitamin) in February and in the UK & Europe (Proper) in April.
ABC Music Deli will record his first gig of his 2009 Australian tour, at the Port Fairy Folk Festival, 6-9 March. The tour takes him up to Cairns, via the Brunswick and Blue Mountains Music Festivals. Maleny, Mullumbimby, Bellingen and the National.
