On a recent Saturday night, in a house on a dead-end street backed up against railroad tracks in north Pilsen, Raul Fernandez, an ace musician and Old Town School teacher, surveyed the site of an upcoming fandango. He was doing so in advance of an event featuring Los Panaderos, a musical group from Acayucan, a city in the Mexican state of Veracruz. Large canvases of Mexican folk art hung from the house’s front porch, colorful lanterns swayed in the breeze, and two large bonfires warmed the April night.
