While many know her for Kelmti Horra’, a song that became a hymn to freedom in the midst of the Arab Spring, or for Holm’, which has become a modern-day anthem, it is impossible to reduce her to these titles. Emel has never stopped releasing revolutionary albums that have found their audience all over the world.
Her latest album, MRA, is a unique tour de force: a collaboration with 30 renowned international artists and producers, including Ami Yerewolo, Lyzza, Alyona, Camélia Jordana and Jehnny Beth.
MRA’ - which means woman in Arabic - is a pop/world/electro manifesto for female emancipation.
That's why all MRA's collaborators, whether producers, artists, musicians and others, are women - marginalised in terms of recognition, but over-qualified in terms of their contribution to the music industry.
The result is a multi-genre mix where African trap, batucada, Arabic reggaeton, hip hop and drum 'n' bass blend seamlessly with vibrant melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.
