Nusrat a artist from pakistan
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan born October 13, 1948, died August 16, 1997), was a Pakistani musician, primarily a singer of Qawwali, the devotional music of the Sufis (a mystical tradition within Islam). He featured in Time magazine's 2006 list of 'Asian Heroes' [1].
Traditionally, Qawwali has been a family business. Nusrat's family has an unbroken tradition of performing qawwali for the last 600 years. Among other honorary titles bestowed upon him, Nusrat was called Shahenshah-e-Qawwali, meaning The Emperor of Qawwali.
He was fantastic ! He also worked with Peter Brian Gabriel. He also holds the record for the number of albums relesed 125 in total !!!
Anyone heard his music ?
