It all starts with the voice. At turns heavy and hulkingly powerful, yet agile and pointedly precise, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s vocal not only embodies the tradition of the Sufi qawwali but it is the emotive essence of singing itself.
Descended from a 600-year-old lineage of qawwali singers, Nusrat’s voice has been singularly responsible for spreading the devotional music of Sufism to the world, ever since he became the leader of his family’s musical group in 1971. It is a formidable heritage for an ancient song. Originating in 10th Century Iran, qawwali is the music of Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam. Characterised by states of musical ecstasy and sophistication, qawwali singers are the mouth piece of divine power, tasked with capturing the audience’s attention and heightening their consciousness to receive a spiritual message.
‘Chain of Light’ is an album of previously unheard recordings ofthe singer and his qawwal party made at Real World Studios in1990, whilst he was at the height of his vocal capabilities.Carefully restored from the original analogue tapes, this ‘lostalbum’ of traditional qawwals includes a pristine recording of themuch-loved classic ‘Ya Allah Ya Rehman’, as well the onlyknown performance of ‘Ya Gaus Ya Meeran’.
The late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice is universally recognised as one of the greatest in musical history and he was key in bringing the Qawwali music tradition to the Western world. Khan’s legacy has enraptured millions across the globe with his magnificent and haunting voice. In his lifetime he collaborated with many Western musicians, including Peter Gabriel, Eddie Vedder and Michael Brook. His vocals appeared on soundtracks to films directed by Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, Shekhar Kapur and Tim Robbins.
