About this concert
Après A Woman’s Journey, un premier album consacré aux grandes figures féminines engagées de la chanson américaine, Madeleine & Salomon, alias Clotilde Rullaud et Alexandre Saada, reviennent avec Eastern Spring. Un hommage salué unanimement par la presse, à la pop orientale et militante des années 1960/1970 rajeuni par le prisme délicat et minimaliste de leur musique inventive et contemporaine. En anglais et parfois en français, le duo fait écho aux espoirs et aux contestations d’une jeunesse assoiffée de changements en Occident, comme en Orient. Des chansons engagées, rêveuses ou romantiques, toutes porteuses de questionnements sociaux ou spirituels qui résonnent encore aujourd’hui à travers le monde… Un hymne à la liberté !

Madeleine & Salomon Biography
A minimalist and delicate duo. Madeleine sings. Salomon sits at the piano. Madeleine & Salomon, a duo with a natural elegance, “less is more” their essence.
Following their first opus’ A Woman's Journey’ (2016) – a homage to militant American songstresses from Nina Simone to Janis Joplin – ‘Eastern Spring’ sees them tackle the shimmering repertoire of ‘60s/’70s Mediterranean folk-pop. Clotilde (vocals & flute) and Alexandre (piano) take us to Beirut, Istanbul, Rabat, Tel Aviv and Cairo, performing songs that reflect these artists’ emancipated societies through that mix of folk and psychedelic rock so popular in Western music at the time.
Torn between two worlds, these songs find a natural home with Madeleine & Salomon: one voice, one piano, overlaid with daring effects and driven by a fascinating intensity.
“An inner journey. In the depth of a quintessential woman’s voice, deep and diaphanous, and on the crest of a piano gifting it daydream’s sceneries. Dark suns, fragile smiles, a breath of life in the blue hour. Unheralded, unheard and simply necessary.” Alex Dutilh – Open Jazz / France Musique.
