Festival de octubre en Baja California: Screening of the documentary "Fandango at the Wall" Festival de octubre concludes its October festivities with the screening of "Fandango at the Wall" (2020), a documentary that takes you along Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra founder/conductor Arturo O'Farrill’s journey through the remotest regions of Veracruz, México in search of musicians. This is where he is met with the masters of 300 year-old folkloric music: san jarocho. The film documents how he and his orchestra join these masters for a son jarocho music and dance festival called ‘Fandango Fronterizo,’ founded by Jorge Francisco Castillo. The two groups combine their musical talent, using elements of division at the U.S./ México border to create unity during Fandango at the Wall, a festival that takes place annually and happens simultaneously on both sides of the border. The event resulted in two recorded albums, one of which received a Grammy-award, a book was also written, and they filmed this HBO max documentary. Fandango is a party where everyone joins the show. This is the spirit that brought this project together and the reason for which we extend our invitation for you to join us as we screen this documentary and have the opportunity to hear from its creators and seal the presentation with a “palomazo,” commonly used to reference a spontaneous musical performance, by some of the film’s musicians. ¡No te pierdas este increíble evento en persona! Únete a nosotros en UC San Diego Park & Market para disfrutar de una proyección especial del documental "Fandango at the Wall." Sumérgete en la rica cultura de Baja California y descubre la belleza del fandango, una tradición musical mexicana. October 16 @ 7 - 9 p.m. UC San Diego Park & Market Guggenheim Theatre
