Data Durbar( or Darbar) is the shrine of great Sufi Saint, Sufi saint, Abul Hassan Ali Hajvery (more commonly known as Daata Ganj Baksh, meaning the master who bestows treasures). It is one of the most important and oldest Sufi Shrines of World.Data Darbar is also viewed as one of the home grounds of traditional Qawwali. Till date , every Thursday there is a Qawwali performance at the shrine which starts at 3pm and continues throughout the evening. Data Darbar holds special significance in Nusrat’s Life, his performances here were the one that established him as a Great Qawwal in his native Pakistan and shut those down who accused NFAK of westernizing Qawwali, devotees present during NFAK’s  yearly performances on Urs in Data Darbar Complex are still found describing it as unmatchable and divine. When NFAK performed here first time, story is that Other Qawwals scheduled to perform after NFAK didn’t even got a chance.. why? You obviously know that…

This One is nothing less than a gem, recorded back in 1985 it was one the first performances on Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan in UK….. and thus presents the Master in his truly melodic, raw, traditional and hypnotic form, The recording had everything from genius Improvisations, great lyrics  to awesome Tabla and Harmonium combination,  everything that a fan fantasizes.. And to add more stars it features eight years old Rahat at one of the first performance singing an awesome Ghazal.
