In the audio clips, the foreigner's voice articulates fragments of her experience in Canada as an outsider, and rehearses foreign languages pronunciations in order to master them. However, the background music points to ethnic segregation in her country of origin - Spain - throughout history, with the inclusion of flamenco sounds (inherited from the Gypsies, originally from India), as well as Sephardic cantos . . .

En los audio clips, mientras la voz de la inmigrada articula fragmentos de su experiencia en Canadá como habitante foránea, y ensaya la pronunciación de lenguas extranjeras para dominarlas, la música de fondo nos habla de la segregación étnica que tiene lugar en su país de origen - España, a través de la historia, al incluir sonidos flamencos (heredados en parte de los gitanos, procedentes de India), y sefarditas . . .
