Arooj Aftab has shared a new video of her performing “Udhero Na” at London’s Barbican Centre. She was joined by featured artist Anoushka Shankar, as well as Vulture Prince ensemble members Maeve Gilchrist, Petros Klampanis, and Darian Donovan Thomas for the June performance. Watch below. In a statement, Aftab said:

This show in London is hands down one of our best of the year. We presented Vulture Prince in all its bold, sexy and sad glory. The audience was large in number, wild with excitement and exclaim, diverse as could be, appropriately hushed and moved, rowdy and laughing… all the things we love Vulture Prince to be. Performing with Anoushka is an incredible honor, and at times I was close to tears to be witnessing it happen at all! A night for the books for sure.

“Udhero Na” appeared on the deluxe edition of Aftab’s breakout album Vulture Prince. Earlier this year, Aftab won the Grammy Award for Best Global Music Performance for the album’s “Mohabbat.”
