"The first time I saw Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan" - Memories by Mohammed Hanif

“The first time I saw Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan”  is a deeply touching narration by Pakistani writer, Mohammed Hanif of the incident when he first saw NFAK in his village in 1972.  The eight years old Hanif was so moved that he decided his career even before the Party’s  performance ended  " He wanted to sit behind the large man (Nusrat) , clap, sing and make the audience go wild " … Did he live his dream ?  The program also takes a very wise take on accusations following the “Global Nusrat” …… A Must Listen..

'Saiyaan' from "ishkq in paris" dedicated to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

It’s was quiet hard to figure when did “Ishqk In Paris” hit the screens and when was it taken down. Though the movie didn’t live up to any Preity Zinta’s hopes or the viewer’s hopes at all, it did had something honest to look forward too, a song dedicated to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sung by Rahat composed by Sajid-Wajid (Sajid is himself a die-hard NFAK fan) and written by Kausar Munir. The song is just average and not at all memorable. But the effort put can still be appreciated. [Read More]

A beautiful Definition Of Music (Persian)

a beautiful definition of music in persian

قداست موسیقی

ای موسیقی

ای اهتزاز نغمه های بر خاسته از جهانهای دور

ای آه فرشتگان که از دل ما بر می خیزد

هنگامی که کلمات از بیان باز می مانند ،

و هنگامی که یکدیگر را در آغوش گرفتن

و اشارات چشم و ابرو

و اشکها

از بیان باز می مانند ،

هنگامی که دلهای بی زبان ما

در پشت میله های آهنین سینه هایمان

تنها و بی کس، لال می مانند،

در آن هنگام است ،ای موسیقی،

که تنها تو می توانی آدمیان را در سیاه چالشان با هم دمساز کنی

و تنها تو می توانی آه های آدمیان را از پهنه های دور گرد آوری و به گوش یکدیگر برسانی.

ژان پل

نظامی در خسرو شیرین آنجا که شیرین سخنان خود را به نکیسا می گوید تا با چنگ خویش به گوش خسرو

برساند در یک جا ناگهان آهی می کشد و به نکیسا می گوید: این آه را برایش بفرست، این آه را برایش بنواز.

حسین الهی قمشه ای

Ahmed Ali, Pervez Babloo and  Pervez Hasan paint the image of a “Baby Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan” physically & Musically. (there is more .. they love Eating & Cricket just like NFAK did) Take a look

God's voice

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan makes the purist pop of all

by Jon Garelick ![“NusratAfro-pop enthusiasts boogie to Salif Keita, Kanda Bongo Man, Youssou N’Dour, and Angélique Kidjo. Proud Celts have Clannad, Altan, and the Chieftains. Brazilian pop fanatics worship Milton Nascimento. But in Alternative Nation, the world-music man of the moment is Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The one-sheet from his publicist is an alterna-rock wet dream. Peter Gabriel, Trent Reznor, and Eddie Vedder have all worked with him. Joan Osborne wants to study with him. Jeff Buckley has interviewed him for Interview, and techno brats are vying for the remix rights. And the Nusrat bonanza continues, with several new albums and an appearance this Sunday, April 28, on VH-1 (9 p.m.) as part of the VH-1 Honors tribute to the Witness human-rights organization.
