Pakistani vocalist Arooj Aftab at the Coachella music festival, where she played a set just weeks after a big Grammy winLOS ANGELES - Fresh off of her historic Grammy win, the Brooklyn-based Pakistani singer Arooj Aftab has added another feather to her cap with a debut at the much-touted Coachella music festival.
"The audience and the musicians are creating music and the audiences are listening to music with a lot of freedom in their minds. Less genre-genre, less border-border," she said.She credits the Latinx community for making huge inroads in this respect, citing Rosalia along with Becky G, Karol G, J. Balvin and Bad Bunny as influential in the transformation.
"They now listen to music that they don't understand, and it's fine! They love it. That's a big step." She was also nominated in the prestigious Best New Artist field -- although that award went, as expected, to pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo.
