ENL-World Languages HomeWorld Language Program ENL Program More ENL/World Languages America This beautiful song written and produced by the students of Ms. Trainor's 12th-grade Spanish Conversation and Culture class, along with two 9th-grade students, was inspired by the Residente documentary. Residente tells the story of Latin America’s most decorated artist, Rene Perez, who embarks on a global adventure to trace the footsteps of his ancestors after taking a DNA test. The film reveals how he grew from a struggling art student into the founder of Latin America's most influential rap group, Calle 13. It then explores why he left Calle 13 at the peak of its success, to embark on a new project through Siberia, the Caucasus, China and West Africa, after mapping out his DNA. Music becomes the film's primary focus, framing each destination and informing every conversation. Each student in the class contributed to the song, which represents their patriotism and what it is to be a proud American. Ms. Trainor is proud of her students' accomplishments, impressed by their maturity and acceptance. They represent the future of our country.
