Arooj Aftab was born in a world that, on one hand, is part of a network that has granted her access to the sounds of all five continents, but that is still cut up by the borders she found it difficult to cross during her formative years. Aftab is a unique artist on the contemporary scene, and has managed to win the love of a seemingly distant audience. Her deep, indefinite and evocative songs combine Asian mysticism and the formal expansions of jazz, the noblest essence of 20th century song and the leaps forward of contemporary experimentation, in a balance between academic erudition and total expressive freedom. Eclecticism, taste, study and a love of reinventing tradition: the talents of an artist who points the way to the future.
