On Saturday, June 23rd, the La Peña Communtity Chorus will be honoring La Peña’s 37 years of success. The Chorus has been a committed participant in La Peña’s storied existence for 34 years, we would love it if you could come help us celebrate!
The La Peña Community Chorus has been singing songs of peace, justice, and hope since it began in 1978. Started by the Chilean exile community who founded La Peña the original mission of the Chorus was one of solidarity with the resistance against the dictatorship in Chile. But over the years their focus has expanded to other countries, including the struggles of people in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Mexico, Cuba, and to various labor, community, and women’s struggles closer to home.
Check out this video of the Chorus singing for the people of Aysén, Chile.
