EMEL

Influenced as much by Arab protesting singers, such as Cheikh Imam and Marcel Khalifé, as by the folk of the American Joan Baez, Emel Mathlouthi called “Emel” got known in 2011 with the song “Kelmti Horra” (“My Word is Free”) which she performed in the middle of the Arab Spring, and which became an hymn to freedom.

Her fourth album “MRA” is the fruit of an artistic and musical renaissance. MRA puts women at the heart of the creative process, with Emel working with producer Hannah Vasanth (JP Cooper, Stormzy, Yola…) and inviting female artists from Mali, Ukraine, Iran, and The UK to offer a tribal and percussive, urban and electronic mix of music.
