The nominations for this year’s Grammy awards were announced on Friday night and among the nominees was Pakistani-American singer Arooj Aftab. Aftab was nominated under ‘Best Alternative Jazz Album” for her album ‘Love In Exile’ as well as for the category ‘Best Collaborative Music Performance’ for her single ‘Shadow Forces’.
Arooj shared a screenshot of the nominations on her Instagram stories.
She shared another picture with singers Vijay Iyer and Shahzad Ismaily and wrote: “Congratulations on the Grammy nomination! Here we go again.”
In 2022, Arooj became the first ever Pakistani to win the Grammy award under the category of ‘Best Global Performance’.
How fitting that on a day that a bunch of old men worked a Sunday to bury our country, it is a young woman that rises and helps us believe we can all heal (& fly)
