- Latin Billboard Music Awar
- Best Tropical Music Album.
- World Music Critics Award: Best Music Documentary.

In summary, “Fandango at the Wall” stands out for the collaboration of Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra with prominent musicians of son jarocho and other genres.
The project showcases the skill and passion of artists such as Regina Carter, Akua Dixon, Antonio Sánchez, Villalobos Brothers, Rahim AlHaj Trio, Sahba Motallebi, Ana Tijoux, and Mandy Gonzales, who create a unique musical experience that transcends borders.
