Ino Casablanca brought “PA’ TOUCH” to COLORS on September 28 through EMERGENT, the platform’s partnership with Levi’s. COLORS identifies self-worth, distance and independence as the French artist’s subjects on the song.

A new song on an international stage

Announced in April, EMERGENT is a multiyear program involving artists from Mexico, South Africa, the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Japan. Levi Strauss & Co. describes a combination of studio performances, live events and artist-profile films.

Ino’s live bookings already cross borders. The Institut français du Maroc advertised four dates between April 29 and May 5 in Marrakech, Agadir, Rabat and Meknès. Its introduction links his Moroccan background to Caribbean, Maghrebi and Latin rhythms.

The same introduction describes EXTASIA as expanding ideas from TAMARA, with raï taking a synthetic, digital form. It also identifies Ino among the 2025 Prix Joséphine’s ten laureates and notes his male-revelation nomination at the Victoires de la Musique. The September COLORS appearance follows that run of releases and bookings with a song focused on personal worth and independence.
