AROOJ AFTAB
In the organizer's words:
LIVE
Arooj Aftab defies pigeonholing through her extensive repertoire and versatile music production techniques, as well as her vocals, which move with sophisticated intent in the worlds of jazz, classical South Asian music, pop and blues. Aftab works with and from these vibrant, mercurial forms to create what she calls "global soul". She is its erudite scribe and dark chanteuse, successfully convincing audiences around the world that genre definitions are a lie, but that she herself should be believed.
The full extent of Arooj Aftab's musical legacy is evident in her two most recent albums: the Grammynominated "masterclass in spatial sound" Love in Exile (Verve, 2023), which she co-created with Vijay Iyer and Shahzad Ismaily, and her fourth solo project, the incandescent Night Reign (Verve, 2024). Both works are spectacles of her skills. Her role models, from Sufi poets to iconic jazz singers, have proven to her that "there was no blueprint for what I wanted to do", and it is her willingness to take risks and non-conformity that has earned Aftab her place at the forefront of the creative music scene.
