A Voice From Heaven

“Transcendent and awe-inspiring” are the first words that come to mind upon hearing and seeing the live footage of the late Qawwali master on this DVD -Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Nusrat brought worldwide attention to this ancient style of devotional music that is set to lyrical poems praising and yearning for the ultimate mystical experience-unity, a return to the source-an endless well of inspiration that has its roots in the Sufi traditions. Peppered throughout by western commentary from producers and artists who had the privilage to work with Nusrat , this DVD [DVD 298 at the Media Center] is a great introduction to Qawwali. If you like what you see, be sure to browse our catalog for CD’s of Qawwali music that can also be checked out.
