Fandango at the Wall

Fandango at the Wall offers a narrative that transcends the rising walls along the two-thousand-mile border between the United States and Mexico. New York Times bestselling author Kabir Sehgal evaluates diplomatic crises between the two nations within a historical context, delivering a powerful analysis of migration, economy, and cultural identity.
This book is not only a political examination but also a hopeful art project. Sehgal and Grammy-winning musician Arturo O Farrill brought together over thirty musicians for the Fandango Fronterizo festival held at the San Diego Tijuana border, creating a music album and documentary. The accompanying CD includes eight original tracks.
From Veracruz ‘s traditional son jarocho style to jazz and hip-hop, this musical journey aims not only to bridge borders but also hearts. The book examines immigration policies affected by economic agreements such as NAFTA, while also seeking to break down mental barriers people hold.
Fandango at the Wall stands as a powerful, polyphonic call where politics and art intersect an inspiring resource for anyone envisioning unity and understanding beyond borders.
