Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan helped spread Qawwali, a form of Sufi devotional music, around the world.

The term " first contact" is often used when a new life-form is discovered in Alien Movies. This Concert performance of NFAK was nothing less than " The First Contact" of the french audience present in the crowd with Music of “Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan”. When coming out of the concert, most of them felt deeply moved or even transported to different reality (as they themselves reported), the last two hours were imprinted on their lives forever….

Before I post the audio and video links to this performance, lets first talk about this concert in particular and why I feel that it’s best ever. First, NFAK was in his best improvisation mood that day, placed in front of a almost french crowd, who he knew wouldn’t understand a word he utters, sargams and fireworks were the best he could do, and it lead to some of the best improvisations ever.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was a man of impressive, even daunting, stature. The emotional intensity and soaring power of his voice transcend all boundaries of language and religion and have popularized this beautiful and inspirational music beyond Muslim peoples to audiences worldwide.

Child Marriage & similar social evils still remains prevalent in certain parts of India and many Asian countries, a social stigma that cannot be tolerated at all. I myself can never forget the haunting scenes from Bandit Queen where a 11-year old Phoolan Devi was married (or sold) to a 25 year old. The background score of this scene was a soulful and emotional track by NFAK which can force you to cry if you understand the lyrics. A young girl asking her father about  “You have decided to marry your beloved daughter in such a small age! What was my fault to get this I cant understand?” and accepting her fate. So what we have today is the translation of this song by Bobby Sing ( from www.bobbytalkscinema.com ) , he understands and feels that this song might be the answer to the social & personal stigma , this song will help the girl-parents take right decision for their blossoming flower .. , So Do I.. Read Along…

This is a humble message for all those young would-be parents who will be reaching this stage soon when they might find themselves in a dilemma. And may be at that time, the meaningful memories of watching this video may help you to take the right decision.
