If God (whoever he is) could choose someone to sing on his behalf, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that Nusrat would be it.

Sanson Ki Mala by Tahir Qawwal & Party Australia

Dil Jis Se Zinda Hai

Though calling their effort a rendition is not much correct as they pretty much sing what NFAK sang, their inspirations, aspirations and bravery is still incomparable…. They are exactly the result of what Nusrat always wanted… He must be very happy seeing them from heaven.

What follows are the performances of soulful NFAK’s tracks by the Party at various locations world-wide..

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was a man of impressive, even daunting, stature. The emotional intensity and soaring power of his voice transcend all boundaries of language and religion and have popularized this beautiful and inspirational music beyond Muslim peoples to audiences worldwide.

PHIL SWEENEY from “The Independent” calls Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan the best and largest tenor (the highest male singing voice) and  recommend him over Luciano, Placido and Jose (most Popular Opera Voices of 90’s). Author goes on to describe his collaborations and innovative experiments which Though we know pretty well that “the best tenor” tag will never be enough to sum up the huge NFAK ( In each and every possible translation of this statement).

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan annoys purists, but he is also dragging Qawwali into the 21st century.
