Only 100,000 copies? Privileged to have this on CD (and to have seen Nusrat perform live once just a month before he passed away). But this really should have sold in the millions!
Nusrat no doubt the best vocalist in the world who had layers in his voice with his painful voice at times. Extremely talented man he was. May Allah bless his soul. Ali from London Uk
Aap sirf king of sufi music nahin keh sakte balke Nusrat sahab koun se music ke king nahin hain ustad salamat ali khan sahab ki zubani suniye . USTAD NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN SAHAB light music se lekar classical music tak ke king hain
Nusrath Fateh Ali Transends everybody but was not put into lime light Noone here could replicate what he does. He is the best of all because we listened to all of them!
Listened to him live at the wedding in Karachi on Sep 4th 1997, and he was died i think Sep 16th or 18th. He wasn't well even on that evening but i have never experienced anything like that ever since.....
It is a bit misleading to call this album and these original songs by Nusrat Khan Sb an Indian Classical album. For one, Nusrat is not Indian, he's Pakistani and second, the songs on Nght Songs are original compositions by Nusrat Sb, set to indeed common ragas in the eastern world. Ironically, the Indian Classical hardliners don't accept Qawali as being as profound as the earlier and more rigid classical forms and rules, prior to the invention and development of Qawali. The Indian composer and Persian-language poet Amīr Khosrow (1253-1325) is the popularly acknowledged creator of Qawali, and his works form the foundation of the traditional qawali repertoire. Qawali is therefore a Muslim invention, and was incidentally, one of the reasons for the spread of Islam in India. Much like it's parallel in contemporary gospel and church music, Qawali is devotional in nature and is notably a distinctly call and response based form. Qawali is also a community driven music where the audience and the performer have a symbiotic relationship to the message being delivered. It should be noted that Indian Classical music is a soloists form, while Qawali is both a solist, group and community dependent art form. I hope this gives some context to your erroneous assertion that this is Indian Classical music.@@aayurvedplateform4384
I ever wondered how and from where, such melodies came from...ok...but these are still futuristic melodies and NFAK's Voice is still coming from heaven
The lyrics "Tu Mera Dil Tu Meri jaan....." was used in Atif Aslam's Jal pari song in Coke Studio as well in the debut Bollywood movie of Aishwarya Rai (whose music composer was Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab)
2:54 he says Nusret is one of the best... I have heard Sanatra, M Jackson, R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, ABBA, Beatles... but he is the best... There is no better singer than him... Not in English (US/UK/CA), Pakistani Urdu or Punjabi, not in India (Urdu, Hindi or Punjabi)... I have not heard anyone better
