Pianist/composer/arranger/educator, Arturo O’Farrill brings the world together through his music, combining musicians from different cultures and musical influences from past and present. Arturo sees it all connecting in a spiritual, inspiring continuum, which he celebrates on his new CD Fandango at the Wall, which is now also a book and documentary.

As the son of Chico O’Farrill, Arturo enjoyed music as a central focus of his life from the beginning. Additionally, he’s worked with some of the greatest musicians in jazz and continues to pursue collaborations which inspire him in new directions. I found Arturo’s attitudes about what we do with music, how we share it and what we learn from it, particularly inspiring, along with his commitment to put good thoughts and actions into the world.
