Editor's info:
It all starts with the voice. At turns heavy and hulkingly powerful, yet agile and pointedly precise, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s vocal not only embodies the tradition of the Sufi qawwali but it is the emotive essence of singing itself.
Descended from a 600-year-old lineage of qawwali singers, Nusrat’s voice has been singularly responsible for spreading the devotional music of Sufism to the world, ever since he became the leader of his family’s musical group in 1971. It is a formidable heritage for an ancient song. Originating in 10th Century Iran, qawwali is the music of Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam. Characterised by states of musical ecstasy and sophistication, qawwali singers are the mouthpiece of divine power, tasked with capturing the audience’s attention and heightening their consciousness to receive a spiritual message.
Although many of Nusrat’s listeners will not understand the Urdu and Punjabi languages that he sings in, his spiritual message is still communicated through the yearning vibrations of his voice. It is a capacity for musical translation that first transported his artistry from its religious settings to capture the attention of Real World’s Peter Gabriel in the early 1980s. On the legendary label, Nusrat would go on to release five albums of traditional qawwali music, as well as opening up his sound to reach a global audience, thanks to crossover collaborations with producer Michael Brook, which created the hit fusion records Mustt Mustt (1990) and Night Song (1996).
