Psychedelic Music Explosion

EMEL became known as the figurehead of the Jasmine Revolution and the revolutionary voice of young Tunisia; and her song 'Kelmti Hourra' ('My word is free') became an anthem of the movement. Now the singer is coming back with a new album, with the same evocative power and rallying lyrics, but in a new musical guise. Inspired by musicians such as Rosalía, Aya Nakamura and Charlie XCX, the result is a powerful and feminist album with influences from hyper-pop, hip-hop, electronica and reggaeton: 'MRA' is a danceable, hard-hitting rebirth.

This concert recording was made with the support of Migros Culture Percentage.
