EMEL
“It’s rare to find a pop star who can claim to be genuinely revolutionary, but she fits both descriptors equally well.” – Pop Matters
Emel Mathlouthi is a Tunisian-American singer-songwriter, composer, performer and producer whose music has crossed time, countries and continents. She rose to fame in 2012 with her protest song “Kelmti Horra” (My Word Is Free) from the eponymous album Kelmti Horra and was subsequently called the voice of the Arab spring. Emel’s fifth album, MRA (2024), is an ode to femininity and sisterhood carried by a close collaboration between women artists, musicians and producers from all over the world.
