The Southwest Center is proud to invite you to join La Peña del Surco for another night celebrating Latin American music, community, and cultural exchange at the 4th Ave Coalition Space. This will be the last peña of the season, and the featured performers will be El SurCo, Grupo Tradiciones, and Q'iru!
La Peña del SurCo honors Latin American folk & popular music traditions from Argentina, Chile, and beyond while fostering a sense of togetherness and promoting intergenerational social cohesion through intimate acoustic and participatory musical experiences.
This project is led by PhD Ethnomusicologist and Applied Intercultural Arts and Health Researcher, Dr. Jennie Gubner and her Argentine/Chilean folk music trio El SurCo. As an intercultural arts and health scholar, Gubner researches how participatory forms of cultural organizing surrounding Latin American musical practices can be leveraged to promote intergenerational community health and wellbeing.
This event is ADA-accessible, age-friendly, and open to everyone so bring your friends and family!
Empanadas will be for sale from Che’s Cafe Empanadas Argentinas. You are welcome to bring your own drinks!
