    I love Fandango at the Wall

    Fandango at the Wall has beautiful music and wonderful stories. My favorite son jarocho musicians are Tacho and Wendy. I would recommend everybody see this documentary. We are all connected.

    Moving look at the power of music!

    This film touched the hallmark of everything that the world needs at this moment. The perspectives of humanity, art, barrier shattering, and cultural niches made for such a soul soothing film. The interconnectivity of a musician from New York with a librarian who spends time on both sides of the US/Mexico border who finds folkloric musicians in Veracruz, Mexico was told so beautifully and without agenda. Fandango at the Wall stands as a salient reminder that the US is an amalgamation of other nations, peoples, and lands. Bravo!!!! Feliz!!!

    An amazing film for our time

    I love this documentary - it is moving, powerful, engaging, and inspiring. It really speaks to music being the universal language that unites us. It was a pleasure to watch and an even bigger pleasure to listen to the beautiful music throughout the film.
