In 2011, Emel became the symbol of Tunisia’s revolution when, wearing red in the middle of a crowd, she sang a cappella Kelmti Horra, a hymn to freedom of expression that went viral. Her deceptively gentle but fiercely militant oriental electro pop is the soundtrack of revolutions. Blending protest lyrics with intimate confessions, her powerful voice invites us to take back the reins of our destiny. Thanks to Emel, the ugliness of the world will never have the last word!
