Music of all kinds is flourishing in the hands of young performers today. They’re talented, dedicated, hip and with the digital tools available now, empowered as never before. Recordings of the highest quality can be produced in recording studios that fit into a small piece of luggage, a laptop, a few microphones, miniature mixing boards.

With such equipment, Jorge Drexler recorded his song, L’Otro Lado del Rio, alone in his apartment.


That cut went from his laptop computer directly into the sound track of “Motorcycle Diaries.” His song won him an academy award. With the Internet, today’s artists have galleries and concert halls with potential audiences of millions.

WUWF adds its cyber stage to the growing list with “The Artist Files.” We’ll hear from an Argentine bandoneon maestro living in Switzerland, a pair of dynamic performers working in several genres in Kansas City, a pianist improviser of remarkably intimate music in Philadelphia, as well as an American master of Hindustani classical music who heads a salon du musique in Basel.
