Review of "We Come From"
In the piece “We Come From,” which features a performance by Santa Indian School’s Spoken Word Team, the students describe how they view their ancestral roots. Beginning with song that grabs the ear of the listener, they bring energy and beautiful imagery together to create a story in the listener’s mind. It’s amazing how well they use different special effects and the interweaving of different languages to enhance the story. Even though most listeners won’t know what they are saying when it’s in a different language, it is made clear through the English words. The use of unison voices occasionally also makes the story very powerful. Overall a great piece with a nice flair that isn’t usually present in a typical radio story.
