In a swiftly changing world, Chilean musician Nano Stern is among Latin America's most passionate advocates for the political power of art and the importance of global connections between activist movements. Stern's unique blend of traditional Chilean style and modern folk is also heavily influenced by the Nueva Canción movement of the 70s and 80s. In this episode of NACLA Radio, guest producer Julia Burnell talks to Nano about the current political climate in Latin America and the United States, music as a tool for creative expression and resistance, and the connections between nature, memory, and art.
