"Fandango at the Wall" follows New York City maestro Arturo O’Farrill, the founder of the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, to Veracruz, Mexico. There, he meets up with the masters of a 300-year-old folk music tradition, son jarocho, and joins them for “Fandango Fronterizo”, a historic music festival that takes place simultaneously on both sides of the United States-Mexico border. The festival transforms the wall from an object that divides to one that unites.
