Pakistani artist Arooj Aftab continues to make the country proud as she took home a Grammy for the ‘Best Global Music Performance’. Her track that bagged the accolade is ‘Mohabbat.’<\/p>\n\t\t
The Pakistani composer was contending against Femi Kuti (\u201cP\u00e0 P\u00e1 P\u00e0\u201d), Wizkid and Tems (\u201cEssence\u201d), Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo and Burna Boy (\u201cDo Yourself\u201d) and Yo-Yo Ma and Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo (\u201cBlewu\u201d) in the category.<\/p>\n
In her acceptance speech the Arooj Aftab sounded like she’s still in disbelief this is happening.<\/p>\n
“I think I\u2019m gonna faint. Wow thank you so much. I feel like this category in and of itself has been so insane,” she said in her acceptance speech.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the \u2018Best New Artist\u2019 category, she was up against acts like Olivia Rodrigo, The Kid Loroi, and Glass Animals, and several others.<\/p>\n
