Her song “Kelmti Horra” ("My word is free") from 2011 became the anthem of the Arab Spring. “MRA” is the fourth album by Tunisian singer Emel Mathlouthi - an electro-pop manifesto for female emancipation.

Since being discovered as an icon of the Arab Spring, Emel Mathlouthi has embarked on eclectic musical explorations and collaborated with such diverse personalities as Valgeir Sigurdsson, Tricky, Barbara Pravi, Bachar Mar-Khalifé and Vitalic - and most recently with Acid Arab. Her musical work combines electro, pop, hip-hop and Arabic reggaeton.

Emel Mathlouthi's emotional power is breathtaking, immediate and precious - because she sings from the heart. She can trigger tears with a single verse, just as she delivers powerful beats - and remains the committed artist fighting for peace that she has seen herself as since her beginnings in life and in art.
