Karsh Kale & Vishal Vaid – A Tribute To Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Vocalist Vishal Vaid and multi-instrumentalist Karsh Kale marked the 10th anniversary of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s untimely passing during a sold-out performance of the master’s music at Joe’s Pub in New York City. The concert began as Vaid explained the influence that Ali Khan had on the careers of those on stage that night, and reminisced of spending time with the man himself, hanging out during late hours in Vancouver over a decade ago.
Greatest lines sung by Nusrat (the teachings of Baba Bulleh Shah )

What Makes Nusrat’s music great ? Organic compositions, Hypnotic Improvizations and ofcours the Kalams of great Sufi’s…
They are more than just melodies… they are the answers to biggest of your problems, ways through your scariest fears and the conduits to your redemption
“The first time I saw Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan” – Memories by Mohammed Hanif
Mohammed Hanif, Pakistani writer and journalist.
“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..
