Arooj Aftab Music

An initiative started by Arooj Aftab during the Pakistan Flood Crisis in 2010; to promote a vision of peace and healing for Pakistan – inspiring a global community to rebuild perspective on Pakistan, and urging the people of Pakistan to actively engage in rebuilding their homeland.

In collaboration with the Human Development Foundation (www.hdf.com), Arooj & friends offer a dynamic voice within a larger movement to transcend borders that imprison our bodies, minds and spirits, and to approach one another as vitally interconnected within a collective whole.

A Community Collaboration

From June 25th to July 10th, Arooj, Bhrigu, Mario & Jorn transformed a Brooklyn brownstone into a recording studio and a gathering space for musicians, videographers, designers, painters, photographers, dancers, and performance artists to play ~ dance ~ sing ~ eat ~ share ~ improvise & create in solidarity and alignment, politically, spiritually.

Stay Tuned

A series of webisodes higlighting the happenings in the Brooklyn Brownstone including live performances are being released on the Rebuild Pakistan YouTube Channel HERE.
