We’re so excited to partner with In Place of War for their show at 8pm on Saturday. IPoW use artistic creativity as a tool for positive change. Tonight they take over our Facebook and YouTube to bring us something very special.

Via Tunisia and now NYC, singer Emel Mathlouthi intertwines twin commitments to nature and music, having first overcome an oppressive upbringing by turning to music as a teenager. Her song Kelmti Horra (My Word is Free) generated millions of views during the 2011 Tunisian Revolution. The song went on to become the anthem for the Arab Spring and she performed it at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert.

Pitchfork declared: “The world needs Emel Mathlouthi’s anthems against the dictatorship machine,” and NPR christened her, “The 21st century’s catalyst for change,” including her in their '200 Best Songs By 21st Century Women' feature.
