In a heartwarming show of global solidarity, French actor and singer Laurent Bàn has rallied 40 of France’s top musical talents to create a powerful anthem for China amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The project, titled Together, features performers from hit shows like Notre-Dame de Paris and Mozart l'opéra rock, blending their voices to send hope across continents.
Artists including Alexis Loizon, Côme, and Elsa Perusin—household names in France’s theater scene—joined forces to record the uplifting track. 'This is about unity,' Bàn shared. 'Music transcends borders, and we wanted our friends in China to know they’re not alone.' The song’s lyrics emphasize resilience and shared humanity, echoing viral moments like the Imagine cover during lockdowns—but with a Parisian flair.
With over 1 million views in its first week, the video has sparked hashtag campaigns and TikTok duets worldwide. As Merwan Rim, a lead in Roméo et Juliette, put it: 'When the world feels divided, art reminds us we’re all part of the same chorus.'
