Cécile McLorin Salvant shares a live performance video for “Doudou,” from her 2023 album, Mélusine. For the performance, filmed at Clonick Hall at Oberlin College and Conservatory, Salvant is joined by Sullivan Fortner on piano and Weedie Braimah on djembe. The video is directed & edited by Jacob Strauss. Mélusine features a mix of five originals and interpretations of nine songs, dating as far back as the twelfth century, mostly sung in French along with Occitan, English, and Haitian Kreyòl, that tell the folk tale of Mélusine, a woman who turns into a half-snake each Saturday after a childhood curse by her mother.
