Gen Verde has performed in over 1,500 shows and events, in public squares, theatres and stadiums, with hundreds of tours all over the world, and a production of 69 albums in nine languages.

Gen Verde is a group of musicians and performing artists with a distinctly international profile.  The current line-up is 22 women from 15 countries.  They are all lay consecrated members of Focolare Movement founded by Chiara Lubich, a Servant of God.

Gen Verde started as a response to the signs of the times during the Second Vatican Council.  It all began with the gift of a green drum set to a group of girls in the International Centre of Loppiano of Focolare Movement in December 1966. Those drums became the symbol of a revolutionary lifestyle in which shared talents could become key instruments for building unity in diversity.
