Chilean musician returns as Indigenous Comic Con marks second year

- Arts Editor

The first time Nano Stern performed in Albuquerqu­e was during a ¡Globalquer­que! a few years ago.

The Chilean musician can’t wait to get back to the National Hispanic Cultural Center for his performanc­e on Thursday, Nov. 16.

“We’re going to be in the big theater,” he says excitedly. “The area is so beautiful. When I’m in Albuquerqu­e, my heart is happy. There is a Spanish connection to the area.”

Stern is a huge name in his native Chile. He’s picked up numerous awards and often sells out stadium shows. His most recent body of work is the EP “Santiago.”

For his concert at the NHCC, he is traveling with three other musicians.

“Each of the players are so dynamic that we change instrument­s many times in the set,” Stern says. “I’ll be playing violin and flute. It’s a very multipurpo­se type of set.” Read more on Stern, see Page 20. Comic book fans, we’ve got something for you this week. Staff writer Rozanna M.
