Justamente por esta originalidad, Loppiano siempre ha sido un fuerte centro de atracción para miles de personas y, desde el principio se formó un grupo que, con canciones y danzas tradicionales de varias naciones, daba la bienvenida a los visitantes. Y fue precisamente a aquella primera formación artística que en la Navidad de 1966, Chiara Lubich quiso regalar una guitarra y una batería de color rojo (rosso). De aquí el nombre del grupo.
Eran los años de la contestación juvenil, del pacifismo, de la beat generation, y el nombre GEN 'Generación Nueva' se insertaba de maravilla en la onda de novedad que caracterizaba aquel periodo.
Pocos instrumentos, un par de amplificadores y un grande entusiasmo..

Can you hear
Can you hear me tonight.
Lord you know my face
You know that tears
Are raining down inside me.
And darkness fills the air
I carry on.
My soul is waiting
Waiting for your voice
Like a watchman
The breaking of dawn.

O Lord I cry
Oh Lord, I weep and wail
Can you hear
Will you listen
Can you hear me tonight.
Can you hear my call tonight
Lord you know my face
My appearance is known to you, God
You know that tears
You are aware of the tears
Are raining down inside me.
That flow from within me like rainfall
Though the storm rage on
Despite the continued turmoil
And darkness fills the air
With an obscurity prevailing
I carry on.
I persevere
My soul is waiting
My spirit is anticipating
Waiting for your voice
Awaiting your Divine words
Like a watchman
As a vigilant watchman
The breaking of dawn.
Upon the dawn's breaking
