Despite her songs being banned in her own country, Tunisia, where she was born in raised, Emel Mathlouthi has gained recognition and fame through social media and her live performances. A strong voice of the Arab world with her songs that harmonize South African rhythms with electronic music, Matlouthi will be sharing the stage with the world-renowned Turkish clarinet player, Serkan Çağrı, described by Giora Feidman who said "he started from the point I wanted to reach in clarinet playing." With Çağrı's sometimes melancholic and sometimes joyful melodies, Matlouthi's authentic voice will bring us a requiem for the yearning for peace in this geography. In addition, she will be giving hope to all of us with her upbeat songs.When: Jan. 17Where: CRR Concert Hall
