EMEL MATHLOUTHI
The Garage, N5 1RD , [Venue Details]Revolutionary artist and creative returns to London.
Since her debut in 2011 with ‘Kelmti Horra’ (‘My Word is Free’), a track which became a hymn to freedom in the middle of the Arab Spring, Emel has not stopped to release revolutionary albums-where Emel collaborated with the composer behind Björk and SigurRós.
Her fourth album, 'MRA'-which means 'woman' in Arabic is a pop, world, electromanifest for female emancipation.That’s why every single collaborator on MRA, from producers, featured artists, musicians, and beyond, is a woman - marginalized in recognition, but outsized in ability. The result is a multi-genre meld where African trap, batucada, Arabicreggaeton, hip-hop, and drum n’bass rub shoulders seamlessly with vibrant melodies and empowering lyrics. Emel has come a long way, she has established herself as an avant-garde artist on the international scene, doing ground-breakingperforming such as the invitation to sing at the Nobel Prize ceremony and collaborating with artists like ValgeirSigurdsson, Tricky, Barbara Pravi, Bachar Mar-Khalifé and Vitalic, and most recently with AcidArab on the song Lose My Mind, from her latest album, “MRA.”
