Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description
Wedi'i adrodd mewn ffordd fyw a llawn trugaredd, mae Where We Come From yn plethu straeon personol o gadernid, dewrder a cholled, yn ogystal â diwylliant cerddoriaeth cyffredin sydd wedi rhoi lloches a phwrpas i'r rhai sy'n chwilio am ymdeimlad o berthyn. Mae Ekpoudom yn cynnig cronicl cyfoethog o rap, hunaniaeth, naws am le ac, yn anad dim, y cyflwr cymdeithasol a dynol ym Mhrydain fodern.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
Something is happening in Britain, trembling the tracks as it unfolds. Recent years have borne witness to underground genres leaking out from the inner cities, going on to become some of the most popular music in the nation. In this groundbreaking social history, journalist Aniefiok Ekpoudom travels the country to paint a compelling portrait of the dawn, boom and subsequent blossoming of UK rap and grime. Taking us from the heart of south London to the West Midlands and South Wales, he explores how a history of migration and an enduring spirit of resistance have shaped the current realities of these linked communities and the music they produce. These sounds have become vessels for the marginalised, carrying Black and working-class stories into the light.
