Hey, everyone!👋 Arturo here— it’s recently come to my attention that some of you might have been targeted by spammers, scammers, fishers, and other degenerate-types posing as me. This account is the real deal and rest assured, I will never send you phantom links, offer you private concert streams, try to sell you t-shirts, or generally solicit you for money. If something seems off, don’t hesitate to report it and don’t share any personal info. Thanks for helping me keep this little corner of the internet legit!
Music is more than performance. It’s a way to bring people together.
In this conversation, Arturo O'Farrill shares the vision behind Casa Belongó, a new cultural hub in East Harlem dedicated to preserving the music of the Americas, creating access to the arts, and building community through purposeful engagement.
From free performances and youth education to celebrating the richness of Afro-Latin musical traditions, Casa Belongó is rooted in the belief that music can connect people across backgrounds, generations, and experiences. A place where people from different walks of life can gather, listen, learn, and become part of something larger than themselves.
Arturo speaks about protecting the musical legacy passed down by generations of artists while creating new opportunities for the next generation to grow, perform, and lead.
Join us for the next step in this journey as Belongó launches a new residency at The Pocket, bringing this music, this community, and this spirit of connection to a new stage in Midtown.

These are the peace makers; living legends crossing the divide, pulling wisdom from our ancestors - and placing it in the hands of our children.
To be in the same space as the creator and participants of Fandango at the Wall - the people who have helped reach across the walls which divide us, to connect one side with another - with music! As a San Diego native who has watched the changes of our bordering communities, your story, your music, your presence caused me to hold back tears. Thank you for your deeply moving work.
And to hear a woman whose voice of peace caused an entire ballroom to pause and collectively hold our breath to catch every word. Dr Berenice King, whose father - and mother - are the greatest activists for civil rights across all time and space, which Dr. King carries forward with her own strength and wisdom.
Team NCRC once again organized more than a fabulous dinner and awards gala; the room was filled to the brim with those who not only want change, but have the gumption and tenacity to create real action for the next order of world leaders.
There are more recipients and countless beautiful moments. The event will be sharing their photos with the attendees soon. This is simply our little moment of gratitude for an evening of continual capture, which was worth every lovely moment.
THANK YOU: @rylandsmk@zeus.gone2 and @lloydfilm for being a rock solid media crew who (literally) chased down as any moments as we could manage! Proud to crawl around on the floor with you all. To have my son and my student be present and never miss a beat? I am proud, gentleman. And I owe you both gigantic burritos 📸🎥

On Sunday, Arturo O’Farrill and The New School invited Keith LaMar and Albert Marquès to lead a workshop with an incredible group of students at The Stone.
The students spent time in conversation with Keith and Albert and closed the session by performing an arrangement of “Tell ’Em the Truth”, a piece that Freedom First has been performing around the world in recent years. The arrangement was created by composition student @recentlevi amazing work!
Here are a few moments: students performing, @pianitis conducting, @albertmarquespiano on piano and @justiceforkeithlamar reciting his poetry live from prison.
