Another Great Khan to honour us with his talents was the greatest exponent of the art of Qawwali, The Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Sadly he died in what I would say was the prime of his career, but his music lives on.
In the early 1990s I listened to him the first time and the Qawwali was Allah Hoo and life was never the same again - I was addicted to his very special brand of music.
Later in 1997 ( I think ), I had the honour and privilege to see this man perform live in Toronto - it was an experience I will cherish forever.
An interesting bit of folklore doing the round in Toronto at that time was as follows:
"During one of his concerts, a man overcome by the power of his music, accidentally slipped and fell on the stage from one of the stands! NFK stopped singing and waited until people were able to pick him up. Once it was clear that all was Ok, he started singing again. The man, now placed on a stretcher, started to move with the rythm once again !!"
Amazing NFK and thanks for providing this and many generations after us, the gift of your voice - truly a gift from Allah!
So Ustad in your own words ...
