Biography
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948-1997), born in Lyallpur, Pakistan, was the supreme singer of qawwali, the Sufi devotional tradition his family had practised for 600 years. His immense voice reached the West through WOMAD and *Peter Gabriel*'s #Real World Records# ('Mustt Mustt', 1990). He died in London in 1997. He toured in more than forty countries and remains the voice by which qawwali singing is judged.
