Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Birdman Records
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan introduced Qawwali, a form of Sufi devotional music, to the world through collaborations with Peter Gabriel and appearances on film soundtracks throughout the '90s. The Khan family (which includes his younger cousin Badar) has borne the top Qawwali performers for generations. Having just completed his biggest American tour, Khan was at the height of his popularity when he passed away in 1997. The Final Moment documents a single night from this legendary final tour. The recording by longtime collaborator Baba Varma highlights Khan's vibrant and emotional singing and the raw energy of his live performance. The Final Moment will appeal to longtime fans and newcomers alike as a spectacular example of Khan's hypnotic and spiritual Sufi music.
