Review of "What Obama can bring to this country"
Pulse of Portland Music Project's Leticia "TC" Martinez attempts to build upon Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am's musical collage "Yes We Can." Inspired by a speech by then-presidential candidate Barack Obama following the New Hampshire primary, the original song "Yes We Can" incorporates actual excerpts from Obama's speech. Martinez adds another layer of her own interviews with various individuals sharing their views on what an Obama presidency would bring to the U.S. The multiple layers of this piece serves as an intriguing and symbolic concept. The interwoven sounds seem to represent the multi-layered fabric of American society. Nonetheless, the poor audio quality of some of the interviews, and quick edits that cut off the ends of some sentences, make portions of the piece difficult to understand.
