Emel Mathlouthi Shares Intense New Video For “Ensen Dhaif”: Watch

Emel Mathlouthi has shared the music video for her song “Ensen Dhaif,” taken off her upcoming album Ensen. In the video, the Tunisian artist dances alongside a pair of topless men, their heads covered in red shrouds. “Between myself, Emel, and the dancers, we all had a different interpretation of oppression—whether in relation to dictatorship, racism, police brutality, gender roles, or the ways in which we oppress ourselves,” director Allie Avital told Nowness. “With the choreography and editing, I really wanted to express a rhythm of urgency, violence, and perhaps an uplifting sense of revolution.” Watch the new video below below. Ensen arrives February 24 via Partisan.
