Love in Exile is the trio of Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, and Shahzad Ismaily — three of the most innovative composers and music-makers of today. Together, they create lush, haunting soundscapes of meditation and yearning, weaving bass, piano, and vocals into a breathtakingly unified sound. Arooj Aftab describes the project as “about self-exile, and the search for freedom and identity, and finding it through love and music.”
