Spoken Word
Before the 1900’s
The art of spoken word was formerly narration with voice. The Bible narrated onto audio cassette tape or compact disc is considered spoken word. Some of those narrators were regularly nominated for Grammy Awards. In the mid-1900’s the art of spoken word evolved with rhythmic music and was performed in a way that would let the artist and the listeners express themselves openly about purpose, issues, circumstances, lifestyles or whatever.

Today
In its urban form, Spoken Word is rhythmic, enthusiastic self-expressive poetry. It is mainly intended for open performance, and not specifically intended for the written page or poetry book. Spoken word is a form of storytelling (fact or fiction).
It is often creatively mixed with music from whatever socio-cultural background the artist is familiar with.
Express Yourself!
Currently an independent (Indy) spoken word artist, one of Padrika's passions is performing voice-overs to jazz instrumentals with bass rhythms, saxophones, wind, and other string instruments.
Her new CD album is a collection of spoken word analogies (different perspectives) and a personal event.
