The world s greatest Sufi devotional singer was known as Shahen-Shah-e-Qawwali -- The Brightest Shining Star in Qawwali, the mystical music of Sufi Islam which has been performed by Nusrat s family in his native Pakistan for hundreds of years.
Nusrat was a man of impressively daunting stature; the emotional intensity and soaring power of his voice transcend all boundaries of language and religion, and popularized this inspirational music beyond Muslim peoples to audiences worldwide.
This 1989 classic finds the late, great singer at the peak of his vocal powers a great introduction to a talent for the ages.
