Barrio Rising
By María Dolores Águila (Author), Victoria Villarreal (Narrator)
Smoothly shifting between English and Spanish, narrator Villarreal tells the real-life story of a girl joining her community in Barrio Logan, San Diego's oldest Chicano neighborhood, to demand a park. Using various voices and tones to great effect, multiple characters appear throughout the story while sound effects, such as city noises and sounds from a construction site, complete the immersive listening experience.
