November Pena

When

6 – 8 p.m., Nov. 14, 2025

La Peña del SurCo, inspired by peñas in Argentina and Chile, celebrates folk and popular music traditions from across Latin America while promoting intergenerational forms of cultural belonging and wellbeing in Tucson, Arizona through intimate, acoustic, and participatory performance practices.  

 
This month, la Peña del SurCo is partnering with the Pima Council on Aging (PCOA) for a special evening of music making and storytelling celebrating cultural heritage as a form of family legacy.
 
Join El SurCo, Tradiciones & other members of our community as we honor the traditions we inherit and pass down across generations and reflect on the value of family cultural heritage in caregiving and in staying connected to those we love.
 
As part of the event, Dr. Gabriela Ocádiz is building a community ofrenda to honor loved ones who have passed. We invite everyone to contribute by bringing photos, flowers, or small mementos of those they wish to remember. Together, we’ll create a shared space of reflection and celebration.
