Sounds recorded by young members of Filipino community of Barcelona and their families; as participants of a Sons de Barcelona workshop at St James The Less Church and UPF, Barcelona.
This is part of a series of workshops done in collaboration with Casa Asia, that attempt to explore how immigrant communities in Barcelona would represent themselves through sound. Participants are provided with recorders that they can take with themselves and use daily, during a period of time.
In the workshop we reflect collectively on the relation between the recorded sounds, and their cultural significance for the participants. Attempting to not depart from any preconceived idea of the participant's cultural identity.
Sound recorded by Mary Esther Cordero.
"Es el sonido del agua desde que lo pongo en el calentador de agua hasta que acaba hirviendo. La grabación se hizo en mi casa. Escogí este sonido como una manera de identificarme porque cada día el pobre calentador está en marcha, porque solemos, mi familia y yo, sobretodo mis padres y yo, preparar siempre infusiones o tés. Incluso lo utilizamos para poder calentar el agua para nuestros fideos instantáneos."
