RACHAEL CANTU is a 31 year old singer/songwriter from California—-from her 2013 album Colors.  “de Colores” is a folk song which means “from colors.”  It is a Spanish language song, and the melody is said to go back to the 16th century and brought to colonial America.

“In colors, in colors

The fields are dressed in the spring.

In colors, in colors

Are the little birds that come from outside.

In colors, in colors

Is the rainbow that we see shining.”
