Fandango Mani-Fiestón
The fandango jarocho was born of the mixture of cultures in the old neo-Hispanic Caribbean. Today it crosses borders and incorporates activism and protest without losing its inclusive, fun and pagan essence through music, dance and poetry. Jarana Beat presents a fandango concert in Veracruz-New York style with musicians from Montreal’s local scene.
