PHIL SWEENEY from “The Independent” calls Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan the best and largest tenor (the highest male singing voice) and  recommend him over Luciano, Placido and Jose (most Popular Opera Voices of 90’s). Author goes on to describe his collaborations and innovative experiments which Though we know pretty well that “the best tenor” tag will never be enough to sum up the huge NFAK ( In each and every possible translation of this statement). Read this article for a great take on the “New Nusrat with his Experiments & Fusion”

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan annoys purists, but he is also dragging Qawwali into the 21st century.

Nusrat’s haunting voice has been one of a kind music-therapy for his fans for years now, it seems to wash away the pain and transport us a more joyous world, or some times closer to divine. Well this is not the first time , I have heard stories of NFAK’s music used in treatment. Even when back in 90’s NFAK received “Pride Of Performance” in Pakistan, the rumour was that his songs treated the disturbed daughter of the military ruler. Then there were many reports from Japan and parts of Africa where NFAK’s music was used in Research and therapy. But this time I have a story of NFAK’s music used in Clild Birth.
