Fandango at the Wall: Creating Harmony Between the United States and Mexico
by Kabir Seghal Author, Douglas Brinkley Foreword and Andrew Young Afterword
Once a year, the border wall between Mexico and the U.S. runs through Fandango Fronterizo. The music festival persists on both sides of the wall. The relationship between these two countries and its ups and downs is chronicled in Fandango at the Wall, leading to the latest period of anti-immigration sentiments in the U.S. Despite this divide, music persists on both sides of the wall. Arturo O'Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra have provided a musical accompaniment to this textual work, with tunes from various traditions. Fandango at the Wall affirms the healing nature of music and explores its power in the face of political schism.
