The musical group GENERACIÓN, from Villarrica, Paraguay, will perform on Monday, Nov. 10, at 7:30 p.m. at Keller Hall in the Center for the Arts, main campus. Co-sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs, Accessibility Services, El Centro de la Raza, the International Center, and Special Programs, the event features a musical group renowned in South America for its recordings and performances of traditional music from Argentina, Chile, Peru and Paraguay.

As part of a campus initiative to increase student and community awareness of and interaction with diverse international cultures, GENERACIÓN's performance will feature four voices, two guitars, piano and a traditional accordion-like instrument, the bandoneon. The five-member group has won many international awards recognizing excellence as transmitters of traditional music and for stellar performances through their 20 years together as a musical ensemble. Paraguay's VIDA Magazine, recently reported that "the music that GENERACIÓN plays brings infinite pleasure" to audiences.

After the performance, a reception will be held to allow audience members the opportunity to meet members of the group and sample native Paraguayan foods.
