Tony_Montana Posted December 17, 2002 b. 12 July 1948, Lyallpur (later renamed Faisalabad), Pakistan, d. 16 August 1997, London, England. One of the most popular singers to emerge from the Indian subcontinent, Khan predominantly sang qawwali, the music of devotional Sufism, but incorporated other forms including Khyal (traditional classical) to produce a unique style that appealed to followers of all religions. He performed with the Party, a group of highly trained Pakistani musicians which included several family members. In 1971, Nusrat took over from his father (Ustad Fateh Ali Khan) as leader of the Party after experiencing recurring dreams that he was singing at the famous Muslim shrine of Hazratja Khawaja Moid-Ud-Din Christie in Ajmer, India. This dream became reality eight years later. Through the 70s and 80s Khan's music began to become increasingly synonymous with India and Pakistan's vibrant film industry. Such was his popularity with the stars of the movies that in 1979 he was invited to sing at the wedding of Rishi, son of actor/director Raj Kapoor, in front of the most prominent members of the Bombay film industry. Peter Gabriel's admiration of Khan's singing led to him working with WOMAD on projects including a compilation album, many festival appearances and releases on the Virgin/Real World Records label, recorded in England. The first of these, Shahen-Shah was named after his Pakistani nickname, Shahen-Shah-e-Qawwali (The Brightest Star In Qawwali). For Mustt Mustt, Khan worked with experimental composer Michael Brook in an attempt to give his sound a Western orientation. On all but two tracks, traditional songs were replaced by classical vocal exercises which were edited around Western rhythms. Brook said of the project "everyone was excited, although it wasn't painless - it worked". A remix of the title track by Massive Attack led to a surprise UK club hit. Khan returned to his roots with Shahbaaz, four traditional qawwali songs all praising the Divine Beloved. Successive albums for Real World continued to see cross-experimentation between qawwali and Western influences, though none were as integrationist as Mustt Mustt. Despite this, the vibrancy of the artist's deeply spiritual performances, on record and stage, militated against the suspicion that he had forgotten his roots. His sudden death robbed the world of one of its finest voices. Khan's nephew, Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, carried on the qawwali tradition as his named successor.
