    Setting her ancient Sufi-inspired poetry to the haunting harmonics of her music, Arooj Aftab creates a sound that is nothing less than other-wordly. But now she’s going to bring it back to earth, and keep us grounded while ROCKING US OUT on what is one of B-Side's most Zen-tastic episodes. Hosted by: Queen GodIs Produced by Kecia Élan Cole.

    Arooj's voice seems to fill a hole in my soul. Been listening to a lot of Norah Jones live that has a similar effect.

    I like Arooj's interpretation of these songs. she didn't do a great job describing the meaning behind the lyrics though. her descriptions were literal translations, and not the abstract meaning the songs are trying to covey. but overall, great jazzy, trendy covers. I am a fan.

    • @mikeriley154

    The embers play your lyre
    Under the slope of your lips
    Your naked breath

    Not cheesy, but digestible! Just add fresh, hot flatbreads and spread the Sufi thickly.

  • @yinyang992
    @yinyang992 Před 2 lety

    The background music is totally annoying. I think she’s improved over the years, but in this one she’s singing off key.

  • @stuckinamomentt
    @stuckinamomentt Před 3 lety

    If it’s All love , can you say ‘free Palestine’ ?

  • @dannyhughes4889
    @dannyhughes4889 Před 2 lety

    Perhaps instead of bringing up the Palestine issue of which I am not sure she knows a lot about or perhaps has never been to see for herself in Israel, Jordan, West Bank and Gaza I suggest she concentrate on her Music.
    She could also stay closer to home where she knows best and where her Community still is deeply involved in honor killings, forced and underage marriages etc..
    Or if she still has energy to take on more she could go to Pakistan and deal with the immense problems it is facing including being a major instigator of terror.
