Summary:
Multi-Grammy-winning producer and New York Instances bestselling author Kabir Sehgal examines the relationship between the All of us and Mexico, accompanied by music from Grammy-winning musician Arturo O’Farrill and particular guests, a protracted foreword from historian Douglas Brinkley, and afterword by Ambassador Andrew Young.
The US-Mexican relationship has involved periods of great friendship with robust trade and loose immigration policies. But its history in addition has been beset by wars, drug trade, and about Fandango at the Wall structure: Creating Tranquility Between the USA and Mexico human trafficking. With the latest xenophobic change toward Mexico, this reserve contextualizes the most recent swing in the up-and-down, two-hundred-year history of these two countries.
In a lyrical narrative reflecting on Fandango Fronterizo, an annual musical celebration kept on both sides of the border wall, Sehgal addresses how the damaged US-Mexico relationship has been repaired in the past and continues to adapt today. FANDANGO ON THE WALL provides clarity to the present debate regarding structure of the wall structure and America’s posture toward immigration. Sehgal and his artistic collaborators brought over thirty musicians from various traditions to the San Diego-Tijuana boundary to record a musical repertoire made up of kid jarocho tunes from Veracruz, Mexico and Latin jazz. With these tunes accompanying a call-to-action narrative, FANDANGO AT THE Wall structure demonstrates how music can heal and offer a soundtrack for the US, Mexico, and beyond.
