Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded for Peter Gabriel's Real World label, this album presents the legendary Pakistani vocalist performing traditional Sufi devotional music. Backed by his ensemble's hypnotic handclapping and harmonium, his transcendent, wildly improvisational vocal performances brilliantly capture the ecstatic, deeply spiritual essence of Qawwali.
