Album Notes
Personnel includes: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (vocals).
Includes liner notes by Jeff Buckley.
The musical world mourned the passing of this great Pakistani musical legend, who died on August 16, 1997 in London. Nusrat was perhaps the best-known and greatest performer of Qawwali, a hypnotic, extremely emotional, often-riveting musical style. Qawwali is the devotional music of the Sufi sect of Islam. It is actually supposed to recreate, with sound, the bursts of enlightenment that accompany a message from the Beloved (Allah).
Admirer Peter Gabriel once compared the singer's depth of vocal feeling to Otis Redding's. The comparison is fitting indeed. Nusrat possessed an incredibly powerful tenor voice, and that fact is reiterated over and over on this two-disc compilation. Intense, repetitive; adjectives really don't do this singular music justice. Singers take turns in rounds, clapping hands, raising, then lowering their voices, collecting them above the group as one towering instrument. Highly recommended, and, unfortunately, a reminder of a great loss.
