Emel Mathlouthi (آمال مثلوثي) releases her new record "MRA" - a celebration of feminist solidarity and a tribute to her voice. In this interview, we talk about current day protest music and embodying the boundless facets of her artistry.
The Iranian singer Faravaz will release her debut, "Azadi" (meaning "Freedom" in Farsi), on May 11th. The record recounts the story of her life in exile in Germany because the Iranian government sentenced her to one year in prison for the act of singing as a woman. Choosing to not return to her homeland, Faravaz fights for women’s rights from abroad. Her music is driven by the yearning and fight for liberation from patriarchal oppression.
