Experience live music and dance from the GRAMMY® Award-winning album Fandango at the Wall, featuring The New School’s Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Octet, the Conga Patria Son Jarocho Collective, and The New School Studio Orchestra.
A story of breaking down barriers, Fandango at the Wall brings together artists from diverse cultural and musical traditions to transform moments of division into opportunities for connection. Originally released to critical acclaim from DownBeat, NPR, The New York Times, and The Nation, the project carries renewed urgency in today’s fractured political moment.
Inspired by Jorge Francisco Castillo’s Fandango Fronterizo Festival, which brings son jarocho musicians together on both sides of the Tijuana–San Diego border, Arturo O’Farrill’s reimagining unites Afro Latin jazz and son jarocho traditions with more than 60 musicians from both sides of the divide.
Join us for an evening that answers isolation with community, discord with unity, and division with expression and joy.
