2021 - Pakistan
Chamber Folk, Ghazal, Qawwali
It's been only a few years since Arooj Aftab's talent comes to our ears to reinvent ghazal and it's mystical sound. The vulture prince Aftab's talking about in this album is her younger brother, who died recently and whose memory flow into her lyrics and music in a shattering way. In a nocturnal atmosphere where the moon shines with a purple aura, Arooj Aftab's voice intones a discreet and throbbing poetry blended in bittersweet melodies. Between "Saans Lô" and "Inayaat", her great sadness glows and achieve to make her most moving, innovating and beautiful work of art.
