Then, listen to the rich, thoughtful, and mellifluous vocal lines of Brooklyn-based Pakistani-American singer and composer Arooj Aftab who weaves together sounds of Western instrumentation with texts from Urdu and Farsi poetry on her album, Vulture Prince.\nAlso, there’s brand new music by American performer-composer Sheherazaad, whose contemporary folk-pop synthesis shifts between India and Brooklyn, and was produced by Arooj Aftab. Plus, hear a cross-cultural approach to song by Mumbai-born, Brooklyn-based singer, composer, and ultra-marathoner Priya Darshini, from her debut record, Periphery.
