Postcolonial Fandango is an Artistic-Research Project developed by violinist Camilo Arias Cuellar. It proposes an attempt to solve the tensions embodied in the label of Latin American Baroque through the development of a scenic Ensemble with its own crossover-repertoire.

“Fandango With the Sun”
Fandango with the Sun is my attempt to strengthen community networks in my neighbourhood by creating something beautiful together!
During the following weeks, I will be regularly performing at Newtonplein (The Hague), recruiting kids, parents and elderly to throw a huge Fandango-celebration in September. The goal is to take advantage of the diversity that surrounds the Newtonplein by inviting local and migrant neighbours to imprint our Fandango with their own experiences and cultural contribution. Next time there is sun in the sky you might meet me at Newtonplein’s children’s-playground!
