content: FandangObon (participants); Deborah Anne Wong (presenter) FandangObon is a collaborative performing arts project led by California-born Japanese and Mexican American artists that explores connections between the participatory music and dance traditions of fandango son jarocho of Veracruz, Mexico, and the Japanese Buddhist ritual of obon. FandangObon was initiated by Great Leap, a nonprofit arts organization that uses performance and creative practice to deepen relations among people of diverse cultures and faiths. The artists will teach visitors the steps and movements and invite them to join in the dance.
