Delicately seizing a repertoire of oriental pop-folk songs from the 1960s and 1970s, Madeleine & Salomon make the flag of a poetic expression of freedom flap in the wind. Translated into English and French, the texts of these pieces born around the Mediterranean lose nothing of their commitment, nothing of the strength and the dream that make up their fabric. This minimalist approach, intertwining the voice with the piano, accurately restores the meaning of these songs, anchored in the tension of an era torn between traditions and the desire for emancipation. There, infinity abandons itself in the arms of a few minutes of melody. Madeleine & Salomon (the middle names of Clotilde Rullaud and Alexandre Saada), sincerely express the pulse of a world that never stops hoping. “A voice, a piano and lots and lots of emotion. Where does it come from? Complete sincerity nestled in the moving voice of Clotilde Rullaud (Madeleine) and in the unison playing of Alexandre Saada (Salomon). But also new repertoire, composed of oriental pop songs dating from the 60s and 70s. Translated, restored, revived by the duo, they convey a very pure breath that will make the driest Arabian desert cry. […] In concert, it is almost difficult to sustain the emotion that comes through in Madeleine & Salomon's interpretations. Too much heat, too much light, too much hope. » Telerama – TTTT Clotilde Rullaud: Voice, flute Alexandre Saada: Piano, voice
