Arturo O'Farrill & The Conga Patria Son Jarocho Collective - Fandango at the Wall (Immersive Edition) (2023) [24/96]

An album with a remarkable journey through music from Latin America and the Caribbean plus Mexico’s son jarocho, it’s a collaboration among multi GRAMMY® winners Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, together with featured guests: the Conga Patria Collective, that includes Patricio Hidalgo, Ramón Gutiérrez Hernández, Tacho Utrera, Wendy Cao Romero, Fernando Guadarrama, and Jorge Francisco Castillo (founder, Fandango Fronterizo).

Inspired by the Fandango Fronterizo Festival, which takes place simultaneously on both sides of the Tijuana-San Diego border wall and was celebrated in the album and HBO documentary Fandango at the Wall, this live free concert unites multiple-GRAMMY®-winning Arturo O’Farrill and his 18-piece Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, with musicians from the U.S. and abroad, and son jarocho musicians from Veracruz, México, into a concert on the lawns of Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier I, with the statue of liberty as its backdrop. The event will serve as both a poignant. reminder and rousing celebration of our national promise to embrace and welcome immigrants, and of the power of music and culture to transcend borders.

Featured guest artists will be Conga Patria son jarocho collective, featuring Patricio Hidalgo, Ramón Gutiérrez, Tacho Utrera, Wendy Cao Romero, Fernando Guadarrama, and Jorge Francisco Castillo, Mexican trio the Villalobos Brothers; multiple-GRAMMY®-nominated American jazz violinist Regina Carter, American cellist and composer Akua Dixon; Iraqi-American oud virtuoso Rahim Alhaj, and the Iranian-born tar and setar player Sahba Motalebbi.
