Emel Mathlouthi was named the 鈥榲oice of the Tunisian revolution, after a video of her performing a version of the song 鈥楳y Word is Free鈥, during a Tunisian street protest, went viral online during the Arab Spring.
Her music was banned by the regime, and she became known as the "voice of the Tunisian revolution." Three years later, she was invited to perform the song at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.
Over the years, Emel鈥檚 musical journey has led her to incorporate electronica and digital glitches, but it was clear from talking to her, that she hasn鈥檛 lost her revolutionary spirit.
