The video for Rhiannon Giddens' “You Louisiana Man,” from her 2023 album, You're the One, was filmed while the album was being recorded at Criteria Recording Studios in Miami. The song blends Giddens’ celebrated voice and banjo work with horns, organ, fiddle, and accordion to create a Zydeco-funk jam. “This was the first song we recorded together in the studio,” Giddens says, “and it was the one that set the tone for the rest of the week. Like kids on the first day of school, we were feeling out everyone in the room musically, and in that moment it all clicked. My folks, Jack’s folks - we all listened to each other and found this beautiful place at the center of all our different sounds.” The video is filmed and edited by Torrance Hill for Noir Prism.
