Imagine opening a sketchbook that smells of sun-baked stone and sweet anise. “Les Couleurs Du Village” is exactly that: a musical watercolor where Vietnamese-French rapper Toan and singer Olivia Ruiz splash the page with memories of a tiny village in the Aude region of southern France. Vines crawl up brick walls, old men sip carmine wine under plane trees, and children on “borrowed” bikes zigzag through lavender-blue shutters. Every bar is a brushstroke that captures the flavors, faces, and accents that make a hometown feel like a living canvas.
Yet beneath the sunny palette lies a gentle ache. The chorus repeats like a postcard sent from far away, confessing that “living far from you is a long journey.” The song becomes a love letter to roots and belonging, reminding us that no matter how far we roam, the colors of our own village stay tucked in the corner of every page we draw.
