"Old dudes" control Tunisia's music market

Emel Mathlouthi is a Tunisian singer and composer whose political songs, including Kelmti Horra "My word is free", became anthems for the Tunisian revolution in 2011 and the Arab Spring. She is bringing out a new album in 2017 and says that despite the fact that the revolution took place 6 years ago, it's still not easy for her to perform in her homeland.
