Abstract:

"Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was the most dazzling star of Qawwali music, the religious chanting song form emanating from the spiritual beliefs of the Sufis.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan recorded with Massive Attack, Eddie Vedder, and Peter Gabriel, and his music is featured in the films Dead Man Walking, Natural Born Killers, and The Last Temptation of Christ.
