Grammy Award–winning vocalist Arooj Aftab returns to Minneapolis with the Love in Exile Trio, featuring two of her most trusted collaborators and longtime Walker-supported artists: polymath pianist Vijay Iyer and multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily. Transforming sound into sculpture, the trio creates lush, haunting collaborative soundscapes of meditation and yearning. Their quietly powerful, almost telepathic communication lends itself to experimentation and creates a sound as described by Aftab as “about self-exile, and the search for freedom and identity, and finding it through love and music.”
