Nurat Fateh Ali Kahn

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (Urdu: نصرت فتح على خاں, October 13, 1948 – August 16, 1997), was a Pakistani musician, primarily a singer of Qawwali which is the devotional songs and poems of the Sufis (a mystical tradition within Islam). He featured in Time magazine's 2006 list of 'Asian Heroes'. Among other honorary titles bestowed upon him, Nusrat was called Shahenshah-e-Qawwali, meaning The Emperor of Qawwali. He teamed up with western Singers Peter Gabriel and Eddie Vedder to do some very interesting collaborative works. With all the tensions between the Arab world and the West I thought I'd post one of the Arabs worlds jewels, who spread love, devotion and kindness during his life.
