St. Ann’s Warehouse presents the free concert, Fandango At The Wall with Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra.
Arturo O’Farrill and 30 musicians from the U.S., Mexico and beyond reunite to celebrate a lush blend of jazz big-band and the 300-year old Son Jarocho sound of Mexico. Fandango At The Wall has its roots in a cross-border Fandango, or jam session, that has been performed annually on both sides of the Tijuana/San Diego border wall since 2008.
