Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

There are very few artists in the history of music anywhere in the world who can be said to have genuinely changed a genre, and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan — may Allah have mercy on his soul — was one of them. He took the ancient tradition of sufi qawwali, which had existed for centuries in the shrines and mehfils of the subcontinent, and gave it a voice so powerful that it broke through cultural barriers and reached audiences in Europe, America and beyond who had never heard anything like it. His qawwali was not just music — it was a form of spiritual transmission, a way of carrying the listener toward something beyond themselves. iRulz maintains his complete collection out of respect for a legacy that belongs to all of us. You may also enjoy the qawwali of Mix Qawalian, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and Night Song. Listen to more qawwali of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
